    Hi there,


    I have only just managed to pay February's bills! I have chosen to pay the minimum amounts for the time being. I have decided that I am going to round down my account each Friday, to the nearest amount ending in 0 or 5, so I will pay anywhere between 5.01 and 9.99 to just one account as extra little payments (therefore potentially between 20 and 40 per month)


    #135 paid £350.65 this month


    = £390.65 / £11,900 = 3.28% of debt paid

    A vision without a plan is just a dream.

    Sorry all, fell asleep last night before I could let you know February's figures!

    So for the end of February, we have a grand total of 164 debt free wannabe's (hello to the 27 newbies :wave:)

    As a whole, we have now paid off £167,115,56/£1,307,998.25 (12.78%) which means in February, we paid off:

    £49,323.15

    Well done everyone :T:T

    Sitting here waiting for my DH to come back with a McBreakfast as a post night shift treat! Can't believe how quiet the thread has been on payday this month - many people half-terming it do you think?

    Possibly, I wondered if it's simply that pay day has been a Friday this month!
    When I moved back home (woot) I sold all mine, I'm officially all digital now!

    Except for books, I shall have a library of books instead :D

    I was forming a really big library of books too, ran out of space for them and discovered my local library again. I'm recommending it to anyone - from a money saving view, it's free, and it keeps space free in the house. Only downside is, for the topic I'm reading just now someone has been through all the books with a pencil before me, underlining bits and writing their comments in the margin :mad: Some of the books are just unreadable now...

    Now that is annoying (though I did find that helpful when cramming at uni when people had underlined pertinent things for me to skim read...)

    My dream is to have a guest room/library though, I am quite a clutter person and that would be my dream use of space :D
