    Hi folks, Just popped in to say hello:D

    Good to see you are all keeping up the good work now you're over half way:T
    Life is definately less stressful, now I'm not worrying about debt, but have had to re-mortgage ( end of fixed rate ) & although I won't be any worse off, due to me working part time, I won't get anything for working, IYSWIM
    Hubby finishes his secondment next month, so busy squireling away any pennies we can before he's back to poop money.
    Nothing will change, I will still carry on my DFW ways as I have been ( with exception of booking the well needed holiday ) just won't be able to save anything/much.
    So although I'm not with you fighting debt, I'm still very much fighting to never get back in debt;)
    Take care everyone & keep at it

    Am crossing my fingers for getting half wat before the end of the month but will have to take some off as I had a balance transfer fee and *accidenttally* spent a couple of hundred on moving flat - Aaaaaaarrrrrggggghhhh. I want to be half way like you lot. And breathe. - lol

    My basic payments go out tomorrow so will do all my complicated sums then.

    Honeybee - well done on being half way!!

    4 of my usual loan payments have come out today, so my total has been amended. Particularly good though is the fact that one of the loans has now been paid off - last payment has gone today!! So next month, that will be extra money I can throw at one of the others!

    Well, officially qualified today as a swedish masseuse, so will be able to set my business up now and really get the ball rolling. This should hopefully mean extra money coming in soon and improvements to my total.

    Well done others on making the half way mark. I am no where near half way, but will be happy with whatever i manage to save.

    that time of the month again and payments of £321.18 have gone out. also just won £61 on free bingo so thats going straight of a cc. found £30 in an unused bank account so thats going to be paid of something when mil brings the bank book at the weekend.
    no extra income from rent this month as we are evicting our tenant on the 19th and hes not the kind of person thats going to pay what he owes us even though it means he will have got a whole month free. oh well once the house is let out properly ill be better of so more to throw at debts.
    not getting our distubance this month as RAF have changed everything so got that to look forward to next month.
    hoping to make some extra through the month from ebay and carboots. might not be many car boots though as pregnancy is hurting alot thanks to spd and baby being back to back.
    not really sure how im going to make my target but at least i will have paid some stuff of.
    good to see everyones totals though. good luck this month everyone.
    back to comping in 2017, fingers crossed :beer:

    Hi everyone.

    I've updated my totals with last month's payments and a little bit extra I paid on payday. It's coming into a quieter time at work and some holiday, so hopefully, I can get that total moving a bit.

    Well done everybody, and a special well done to all those who are halfway .:j
