  • Another payday, another £500 paid. Would have been more, but had some bills to pay - insurance etc. Will be some more in a couple of months when the yearly car insurance comes up. Anyway, updated signature below with the overall percentage.

    Number 30 - total paid £1900
  • I'm out tomorrow after work and working nights over the weekend so I'm adding my payments tonight so they make it onto the February total!

    #057: £3464.25 / £8202 42.2%

    Smashed 40% and still in February so am very happy with that! :j Did cheat a bit by making OH pay off a card but even so I'm making progress - this month have cleared my OD and finished paying my Mum back the deposit for our house! Should hit the halfway mark next month if all goes to plan so will be all downhill from there :p Can't honestly imagine I'll keep this pace up long enough to clear it but am trying to push on as best I can while the motivation is still lingering! :D

    Good work! I cleared my OD today, probably not that impressive since the limit is only £200 :rotfl: but I kept going into it each month just because I knew the money was there to spend! I've now cut up the card for that account so it can only be accessed online, that should stop me withdrawing from it whilst I'm out and no more 75p a day charge for using it hopefully :)

  • Happy Friday everyone. I'd hoped for a larger payment but I've had to replace 2 tyres this week :(


    I'm looking on the bright side though, I had money to buy them and it didn't put me over my overdraft and I didn't miss any minimum payments due to it which would definitely happened in the past!

    Total debt at LBM = £4861.03
