    Payday today. No overtime this month so it's a bleak month ahead however I am on call this weekend and know I have at least 3-4 hours overtime going to be paid next month. Not going anywhere this weekend and the fridge still has food and booze in it from last month. Paid off £204.23 today off MBNA and Barclaydcard credit cards and will pay another £65.78 on the Tesco credit card after the Tesco statement comes through.

    total as of today: £1726.17/£2611.78 66.09%

    Hi everyone,

    So payday is finally here! It seems like it has been a very long month.

    This month I got the back pay I was waiting for, and my annual bonus. My plan was to allocate this extra money to repaying the debts as soon as I got it, but because of the new tax year, and my tax code being changed substantially, I now don't know what my basic pay is after tax, so I can't calculate how much "extras" I have got this month.

    So I guess I will have to sit on the money and wait to see how much I get paid next month, unless anyone knows a way of calculating how much of the net pay came from the different sources?

    Oooh I forgot to mention I got £75 cheque from the CPP mis-sold pay out scheme. That will help with the car tax this month.
  • Hey guys

    It's been a quiet couples weeks but payday has FINALLY descended so I can make a payment :j

    £200 off the overdraft - that's now taken me under the £4k threshold. A payment to the credit card will follow - last pay day I was too hasty and so it credited my payment against the previous month, so I'll hang fire a few days this time.

    My total is now:

    181 £1,759/£5718.00 30.76%
