  • Such an inspiration - well done you! Two or three more months like this and you'll nearly be there!! xx
  • Well it is pay day again. I had £258 left over from the month of Mar, so have paid that off the debt :D.
    So for the month of March, I paid a total overpayment of £1035, am very pleased with that :j

    So that left a total of 536.23 to be paid off one of my cc, and as I pay £500 off when I get paid every month, I have just paid off 536 to close out the credit card yippee :T

    That leaves 1 cc of £2597.47 and 1 overdraft of £300 to yet pay off :mad:

    So close yet so far ;), but I am getting there and I can almost see the end. I just have to ensure that I keep focussed right to the end.

    So I would really like to pay a total of £1000 this month (April), £536 paid so far so still 464 to go, and I seem to have a lot on this month so it will not be easy but we will try.

    Happy Monday everyone (well at least it is payday) ;)

  • Well as it is coming to the end of the month I have made another payment of £730 :D, my OH got a bit of a windfall, which is where £500 of that came from :p and the remaining £230 I had left this month.
    So now my total debt owed is £2131, oooh I cant wait to get it under 2000, actually, I cant wait to get it to 0.

    I can nearly see the end… just need to keep the head down for a little longer.:cool:
    It will be such a relief when this is over.
    It is pay day again on Wednesday, so hopefully make more payments then.
    See u all then
    Have a nice day all.:beer:
