    Everyone seems to be doing so much better than I am! My current state of affairs is #10 £65/£2800 which is equivalent to nowhere near%

    TGIF!

    This week has been a complete nightmare! A big deadline collided with month-end and i've been sooo busy as a result. Super tired now and looking forward to a lie in tomorrow.

    Anyway another £105 paid off the debt, bringing me up to:

    #2 £630/£3500 18%

    Will catch up with the thread properly tomorrow.

  • An unexpected refund today means another 1% payment off the debt!! My target for the rest of the month is to clear my overdraft (another £150) which will be hard going but there's 21 days left and some money left in my budget so if I try to not waste that cash and make a little extra it should be possible! :D

    i'm off to the bank tomorrow to see if i can get my cash out! if the only alternative is to close the account i might just take out the lot and use the "spare" money to pay off my student fees.
  • I've been awol for a couple of weeks too due to being ridiculously busy! In fact I'm not actually sure I declared any payments for January - I'll have to check!


    It's frightening how easily I fall back into the habit of wanting to spend money I haven't actually got! I really must do better at reading these forums as they keep me on the straight and narrow!
