    £20 off Mr L CC, so

    #53 debt paid off £1075.29/£3000
    Debt Free Stage 1 - Completed 27/08/2020
    Debt Free Stage 2 - Completed 50/181 Payments
  • Monthly direct debits have come out for May - £203.20

    #47 £1031.15/£11334.69

    So I am pretty chuffed that my first £1k has come off but I have still got such a long way to go...

    Working two jobs but still need to do a bit more to get those pennies in. Got a week off soon so I am going to try selling a few bits and have a general clear out. See if anyone wants to buy my crap :D

    Unfortunately I am going to have to change my debt total from £3147.65 to £3672.27, the car repairs and vet bills got the better of us this month :( But I'm feeling positive now that these are out the way and ready to put my energy back into paying this total off!!

    So, #134 debt total has changed to £1105.28/£3672.27


    Ah the dreaded vets bills !

    Sometimes I just log on here, even though I am still so far away from payday.
    Itching to pay more debt down.....anyone else get that feeling ?

    All the time Glittery so frustrating.

    I get paid weekly but some weeks DD's for bills just absorb everything.

    #25 have paid off 7579 in total. From 28955 to 21376.

    Have cleared one debt so just left with two now. Now hubby is on board, I think we can clear it all this year. He has agreed any overtime will go towards it and I've had a pay rise come through too.
    Hope everyone else is going well
    Formally liuhut

    Totally hear what you are saying. The months seem longer when I'm waiting to pay the next payment. Managing to cover expenses and the odd blip, so I know I'm not adding to my debt, just enjoy the buzz of paying:D

    Have been super sensible and we are saving for our next 10% off our mortgage too, so I know we are doing the right thing. I don't get my 'fix' :eek: from paying, until I pay the bank.
    I'm here reading other people's payments to celebrate their payments until I can get to mine :beer::j

    Fantastic news :j well done on clearing one debt, I'm sure you'll smash the remaining debt, especially with the support of hubbster :j
    Biggest thing for me this year is that my hubby is now on board with overpaying the mortgage. It makes an enormous difference. :T
