    My mortgage and all my horrible direct debits have come out which has made me back to where I was with the overdraft. Absolutely gutted. It's like a never ending circle.

    Sofa company hasn't got in touch yet and it's been well over 5 working days since I emailed them. Pah!

    Feeling quite anxious about money today, it sucks :(

    Hope you're feeling better today. Give them a call if you can, nothing like being on the end of a phone line to force them to look into things.

    Oh no! Have you tried posting an SOA on the main boards? Might help find a few areas where you can cut back and start making some progress.
  • Morning, you lovely lot! Some absolutely fantastic payments there. It's another frosty, crisp, clear morning... I hope the roads were ok for everybody.

    I've now totalled up the January payments on a strict "declared by midnight on 31/01/15" policy, and I'm proud to announce the total is...

    DRUMROLL PLEASE...

    £117,819.50

    :T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    That's almost exactly what was paid last year - just £27.09 between them! January has a reputation as being long and tough, but the DFBXmas payments typically crash in February for whatever reason. So this is a call to KEEP IT UP! You're all doing brilliantly!

    Yay! Well done you!

    £385 paid to Hubby's CC, £42.43 sofa repayment and two small extra payments of £13.60 and £5.37 sent to B/Vs this morning - pleased with that :D

    #85 £2030.94/£25,000 = 8.12%

    I'm really hoping to keep up my level of payments as I don't want a flat February...
