    Hey guys had to have a £100 loan this week to tire me over so will update my toal and have paid off £70 this week in payments.

    #151. 965/4180

    Paying off the £100 loan within 3 weeks hopefully and throwing whatever I have at it.

    Made a bit of a decision that after I have paid the £100 off and another loan I have £400 left on I will slow down some of my overpayments to save up a big emergency fund of £1000. This will help with my car mot in October and I know I need a new clutch on my car which I've been holding off on slightly because my car still runs but need to changed before it gives in totally.
    Debt free in 2016. /£2935

    Ahhh my cooker has broken again. I will be glad to have one of my own...cookers in rentals always seem to be rubbish!

    Always the cheapest white goods in rentals, if they're provided at all! Can't wait to buy somewhere of my own.

    Yup, 2 months ago the cooker in our rental gave up. Landlord was round there next day to fit another one.

    No clock on it.
    The window isn't sealed properly so creates steam/liquid out of one side.
    It burns everything.

    So glad we only have 2-3 weeks left here.

    Our cooker burns everything too, it's not fan assisted either and no clock! Plus it's electric and electric hobs are sooo annoying.

    Hey guys
    I have not been on in a while. Experienced some personal issues as well as some financial ones to. But I am back and got to start as I mean to go on. The debt won't be cleared by Christmas but I hope to at least get it down to at least 4 numbers rather 5.
    I am number 76. Since I was last here I have got my debt down by £275. Its a start x

    No.003 £4500 / £6000 75%

    woohoo! Will need to think about increasing my target soon as £6000 is not the full debt amount.

    Roll on June's payments now!
