    Well, that's me updated my sig now my big payment has come off. A couple of small CC extra payments have also cleared.

    Still not a lot of overpaying going on since the unexpected always seems to happen. This month it was two burst tyres needing replaced...but that's life!!

    Keep at it everyone xxxx

    Welcome to a new month, everyone!!

    I am very happy to say that we have paid almost £4000 off our debt today, by way of a windfall that OH got, which he has paid off the money he owes his parents, and the usual "1st of the month" loan payments.

    Thank goodness February is over - it seemed such a LONG month!! Hope March flies by successfully for everyone!

    Good luck xx

    Wow Hypno thats great and its only the 01 March!

    I am just updating my spreadsheets before I go mad and start overpaying. I usually leave myself too short for the rest of the month!

    Hopefully a nice update on Monday x x

    Oh my God hypno, the amount youve paid off your debt is about the same amount as my salary for a year!! Well done to you.

    Nothing to update from me as yet, i haven't had chance to sort out my finances as have been busy studying and matched betting, although there doesn't seem to be many good offers around at the mo. Hope everyone is having a good 1st of March.

  • Hi everyone.

    Started to pay a friend back, so I've updated my total. It's moving up, slowly, but in the right direction.

    morning everyone,
    morning polly,haven't caught up with you in ages! I dont know about you but it doesn't look like i'll be meeting our £3000 mini challenge.

    things are just too tight but i promise i have been working as hard as i can.

    Me neither, unless I win the lottery this month :rolleyes: . You've still done really well, Laura.

    How's everyone else doing?

  • Am very excited - about to update my signature for my big 'beginning of month payments bonanza' and for the first time in 4 1/2 years I am sub £30k

    It might not sound much but for me it is a massive milestone. I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone on here for helping me to keep my lightbulb moment feeling going, I couldn't have done it without you.

    Sub £25k here I come.
