    That's not pathetic - you're officially £125 less in debt! Well done, I've updated your total. :T

    The problem with being paid monthly is that there are big periods of the month that you don't pay anything. It's frustrating, but it soon adds up regardless. Just keep going, and eventually it'll be gone.
  • Being a week away from payday, I've decided to allocate most of my unbudgeted bank balance to my debt. Fingers crossed there are no surprises in the coming week! So, after no updates in what feels like eternity, my new total is...

    #41 £2,371.91/£15,000 15.8%

    I keep reading all the posts and just want to pay off more things!
    I cant because I only have enough to get us by until next payday in *gulp* 3 weeks.
    I'm ecstatic I paid off £900 this month but its gave me such a buzz I want to keep going. ..... this paying off debts malarkey could get addictive!!
  • Second update of the day! Switched one of the CC's I've been paying off over to a new 0% deal and gave it back to DH to pay! :rotfl: Cheating really and can't do it with any of the rest to pay off but it's no longer my debt to repay so I'm counting it!!

    #057: £1302.00 / £8202.00 15.9%
  • Just seen that Barclaycard has taken my direct debit out 3 days early!!! :mad: Luckily I always have a buffer around mid month as my cc companies like to mix things up for me!

    Anyway, Tesc0 also came out yesterday so my new total to update is:

    #91: £1262.25 / £17557.13 :j

    Chuffed with that in only 13 days :T Bit skint now for the rest of the month but I've sold another couple of items on fleabay and have loads more to be listed so I'll hopefully be able to make a bit more of a dent in it before the end of the month.

    There's some great totals coming in so well done! :T:T:T

    Nice little payment off Barclays overdraft today of £312. Might as well enjoy it before they slam £100+ fees on. This is the first debt I'm tackling!
