    Payday tomorrow which means more pocket money on my card, yay! It's been empty since the weekend. I'm rubbish.

    It's my birthday weekend coming up (31st) so I'm allowing myself a healthy chunk of cash (£100 for the week) so I can go out with my Mum for birthday dinner somewhere nice. Also treated myself to a new hat last night, for £10. I think that's enough treats though.

    Now that it's Wednesday and I get paid tomorrow I think I'm happy to say I have paid off the following:

    £300/£1000 paid off - 30% there :T

    Will get paid tomorrow and won't let my OD dip below £700. Hopefully will give my OD a little extra too.

    Happy Birthday! All the best people are born in January ;)


    I got paid today and have put money on my prepaid card to last the week. I'm hopeful to report a £530 payment next week but as usual I need to get through the week and see how I go.

    I've got loads of refunds coming in to my credit card this week, so I've been able to throw all my money at this debt.

    Good morning everyone,

    Just paid £80 towards the debt today so the totals are £125/£263

    I feel like this is going so slow and to think this is the smallest of my debt. Ha ho one debts at a time.

    BB
    Original debt at LBM July 2008, £47, 654.34. Debt at January 2016, £21,443. Barclaycard [STRIKE]£9,000[/STRIKE]£8,756, Tesco cc [STRIKE]£3000[/STRIKE]£1,136. Debenhams storecard [STRIKE]£350[/STRIKE]£263, OD [STRIKE]£3,500[/STRIKE] £3,000, Corp Tax £3,036, Study loan £1,750, Smaller debts £2,000.

    Since my LBM I have not been fully committed so now I have had a 2nd LBM.

    Damn it, I forgot this morning that I have to give my boyfriend some money we used to secure our new house. So my forecasted next week pay-off is lower than I'd like :(

    I'm still set to remove this debt entirely by mid February (instead of end of Jan as I'd like)
