    I paid another £99 off today to take me over the 15% barrier!

    Payday next Friday and I currently have the plan to pay off another £649 on that day, followed by another £241 just in April (but before my next payday) which will take out almost £900 off my debt. It would be more but its my birthday in a couple of weeks and I have a couple of events planned (2 concerts and a meal out - although heavily budgeted compared to previous events I have had) but the tickets were gifts so it isnt as bad as it could have been!

    Hi :)

    Brogden here number 094.

    I should have reported in earlier :(

    To bring my figure up to date I've settled £15,118.49

    Please can you deduct from my last figure.

    All the best,

    Morning all, just paid £1,624.43 off my debts bringing my balance down to £26,103.88 now. 33.8% paid off. Yipee!


    and the countdown to next month's payday starts all over again.....

    Wowee super payment there! :j

    OH has had a commission cheque so we've paid a chunk off a card:

    #002 £4,633 / £44,000 10.53%

    :j

    10% target done! Next mini-target...hit £5k by the end of the month. I've held back a bit of cash because we need some bits for the house but it'll be lovely to be able to pay CASH for stuff and still bust some debt! Woo hoo! :T

    It's been a mental week this week. I've ended up with about £800 on the credit card due to paying solicitor fee, mortgage survey fee and a few baby bits (pram, car seat etc)

    I've paid most of it back through the savings in my TSB account but still have £205 outstanding. Need my salary and bonus this month to get back to where I was before the mortgage application.
