Things got a bit complicated over Christmas but after spending a few hours yesterday sorting through my bank accounts and working out where I stand, I make it that if I can save £500 this month then by the end of Jan I should have £1127 saved up towards my £2000 total.
So that's sort of hopeful, but I've left myself £170 to live on for the month and that's got to cover a hen night, my mum's birthday, two tanks of petrol and the cost of getting the car fixed as well as any other expenses that might pop up during the month _pale_ Eeek, it may be a little hard to achieve. Fingers tightly crossed that the car repairs don't cost too much!!

Ok, I need to get my head round this challenge. So far we've paid £235 off so I've a long way to go. Working a lot this month so that will help and OH has done quite a lot of overtime too.
Only £2265 to go!January budget

Hi,
I thought I'd joined this challenge but apparently my comp must have been playing up. Anyway I'd like to join now
I'm going to be trying to pay off one of my credit cards (Gulp) as seen in my sig. I had my first magor break through a few days ago when I realised that I'd been paid £140 from Quidco :j I put it straight onto my cc (Before I had chance to spend it!) and now I'm looking forward to seeing the money gone from my next bill :T0 -
Can i join please?
Id like to clear a debt with studio catalogue which is £435.
My sons birthday is 1st april though so ill have to budget well for his party so i can still put any spare money on the debt and not the party!

Evening all!
Well last week I paid off my last credit card and yep I am pretty darn chuffed about that! So thats two out of four of the debts. My original aim was for £3480 and I have £2100 left for my OD and for my ground rent. This is going to be tough as I dont have anything in the pipeline, other than no council tax for 2 months. I will try to enter some free bingo sites and see whatelse I can flog on Amazon.
Better get my thinking cap on!Debt Free - done
Mortgage Free - done
