    My next payment isnt until the 5th, then 6th, then again on the 15th but slow and steady wins the race!

    I only have the 1 payment date except for any extras I manage :) so I'm going to be even slower hahaha

    I have a payment that'll go out tomorrow, and another on the 5th so I guess that'll go out on Monday. Then I'll just have to sit tight for a while methinks.

  • Glad to see people had a good new year! And you've all be really busy so far too.

    I finished 2013 with £34 left over from December's pay, which means January's is 100% in tact so far, this has been a big achievement - I hope to keep it up next year :A. Personally very excited for 2014 - I am hopeful it will see some big changed to my life!

    BadWeather how exciting to have your wedding to look forward to. I know there are wedding forums on here if you're looking for tips on how to avoid the debt going up too much!

    Spagbol welcome to 2014! Sorry to hear bubs was unwell, but of course I had to give you the number 1 spot! Also congrats on the low interest credit card - a good start to the year!

    Brokenpromiseland Congratulations on becoming debt free :T:T I will go do a roll of honour in the 2013 thread for you - it will be a really nice way to tie up the previous thread.

    recurrent-ostrich good news on the balance transfer. 30% is shocking interest :eek:

    argomatt if you can post a cumulative total, that would be best - it saves the admins a bit of time if you do it that way, and also means you see a bigger dent in your debts!

    Determined diva don't mention full bellies :rotfl: I've eaten far too much rich food over the last 3 days. Looking forward to getting back to normal next week, and eating a *small* bowl of bland pasta :rotfl:

    amr I know what you mean - feeling very impatient! Things need to change for me in 2014, but there's nothing I can do for at least another few weeks. We shall have to distract ourselves!

    :T well done to everyone for your payments - you might like to know that our total for the challenge so far is an impressive £55,811 (though I know a couple of people carried forward previous totals) :T

    Already spent lots of today looking at what I know I have coming up during February and plotting how much I will hopefully be able to pay off that month! Just really hope I can keep this momentum going!!!

    I have to admit, until I get paid on 25th of month, it will just be my minimum payments that are made as that is all that is in my bank accounts (O/D's) till then.

    A correction to my last post,

    I have now paid off a total of :

    #38 17.53 / 4016.44

    Not much but at least it's a small step in the right direction,
