It's so frustrating not being able to pay anything off the credit card until after I get paid on 25/1! Does anyone else have this gnawing feeling of wanting to do something about it right now?!

yes but unfortunately i need to be able to eat this month :rotfl: hopefully walking to work wherever possible will save me cash on petrol.

Hi Tinks14 you're number 088 this year.

rogueylawyer can you do any paid online surveys or do you have any money sitting in cashback that you can withdraw? It might get rid of some of your frustrations!

jonesy88 hope you enjoyed your stay with the in-laws! I'm happy for you to do anything, giving out member numbers, updating totals, debt free roll of honours etc (I'd better start remembering to close the spreadsheet). The only thing you won't be able to do is edit the first posts. However probably best if we do something bold to let each other know when we've updated things - for example:

spreadsheet updated to here

Evening all! I feel like I've had a really productive day (despite a rocky start when I woke up with 16 minutes to get to work!!)
Had a half day and cooked tea (pulled pork - was amazing and TONS of leftovers ) then pootled around in the kitchen and sorted out one of my cupboards which was absiolutely stuffed full to start with and is now lovely and organised and half empty :A I'm in such a spring cleaning mood at the moment it's fab (and free!!)

Finally got some money back in my Paypal account after they put a hold on it (nearly a week ago :mad:) so have withdrawn that and paid another £100 off my overdraft - leaving myself with £100 spending money for the rest of the month (not including food or bills etc.) so I'm going to try and be as tight as possible so I still have some left come payday!! :rotfl:

So last update for a while unless I get ebaying (groan)

I'm working on my little jewellery sideline, hoping to raise some sales and put those towards payments!

I just transferred £10.47 to the credit card account bringing my total repaid to:
#038 £28 / £4016.44
Sorry about lots of small payments causing extra work for you but it is easier for me to keep track of things if I pay the money to the card as soon as I receive it, otherwise it sometimes gets lost or spent on other things!

Ok, so I've worked out if I pay £50 a day, every day, all the way up to Christmas, I'll be debt free.

It'll be a struggle (financially) but it feels quite easy to log on to my computer every morning and pay £50, so I'm going to go at it that way. Otherwise the thought of tackling almost £18K will overwhelm me!

This really made me think. As I owe just over 10K my payment would have to be around £28 a day. Scary when you see it like that, where on earth am I going to find £28 a day from???? I am going to have to get creative with making extra money. This weekend is now set aside for e baying and searching for extra money earners
