    we've picked our holiday and in true MSE style we're going to try and haggle tomorrow:rotfl:
  • Hi all,
    It's great to see so many payments! I think Dec/Jan is the most difficult for any extra payments, but I am hoping for a few more over the next few days.
    My update for today is -



    #102 £196.41 / £8696.48
    LBM 1.1.16 = £27096.59 - now £17,020.38

    Paydbx 2017 - £3588.90/£7000 = 51.27% - number 74

    Paydbx 2016 - £6487.31/£7000 = 92.67% - number 74
  • Jan result, slow start but Feb will be easier;

    #104: £330 / £7660

    Still waiting for pay day - it's a long time coming!!!! A few unexpected expenses coming up that might effect my plan to pay my CC debt in 9 months! might need to stry to reduce costs elsewhere to compensate but its going to be a struggle! Evereyone is doing great so far especially with such a long month!!! Can't wait to update my totals!!!
