    Decided to up my mortgage over payment because car loan now paid off so £119 better off and no 'council tax' to pay this month. Have set it up by DD to over pay another £630.18, so total over payment is now £1131 and so payment today is £1500.

    Oh no! I hope it was fixable?!

    MIB congrats on breaking 40%!

    Well done for all the payments everyone, some really good chunks being paid off. And we broke 10% of our total target yesterday :)

    I have been trying to earn extra to pay off what i owe. I have reduced my media package and saved myself £360 for the year. Hopefully this will help with paying a few more debts. Still trying to earn extra too. working overtime when can. I am feeling that my goal can be achieved this time. I have promised myself that i will pay off my debts for years but never really try hard enough.

    #101 here checking in...just paid £135 off of CC1 and Bank of Dad bringing my total so far to £557.85/2500. I really think I can do this, and who knows I may even exceed my target if I keep on track...would love to pay off more of my total debt which is now below £9,000 :j

    Hoping to pay off some more this month but need to budget and see what's left once all the DD's have gone out.
