    Gosh you've all been very busy! I turn my back for a few days...

    Hi Bilko89 - thanks for your patience, you're number 176!

    kirstydriver, thanks for waiting too! You're number 177. \hope you get your head around the percentages, but if you're still confused let us know!

    Hi xacesx , you're number 178 - good luck!

    Roguey - totals updated! Well done on clearing the overdraft!

    Missu - well done- you broke the 50% mark!!!

    1DatAAT - glad things are going well, totals updated :)

    Bailey25 - I'll be poised and ready with the debt free roll of honour for you! How exciting!

    I still have a whole week until pay day, and I'm very jealous of everyone who has been paid so far!

    After 7 whole months of pestering people, I have finally been advised my promotion has been signed off and pay rise (don't know how much) will take effect from the 1st of April!

    108 here.

    Made a payment to the car loan today, so now I'm at £4550.77/£10,000.

    Feeling rubbish today - thought I had hay fever but now my sneezes and sniffles have been joined by shivers and a headache so I think I've picked up a cold. :(
