Hi guys :hello:
I've not had much to add on to here to start with. I have a standing order to my Mums account every pay day so I can now add £50 to my sig.

Morning everyone see some nice overpayments have happened :T

Will be sorting this months out either today or tomorrow when I sit down and do the budget. Bit of a nightmare month for me as off on hols and need spending money so any overpayment will be minimum.

I confused myself on this one, it's Egg not HSBC Too much tarting in this house

Anyways, this month's payment has come out so £1360 to go!

PMSL my barclaycard has gone missing, think my son has hidden it to stop me spending. Will wait a while before reporting it missing incase it turns up (plus it'll shut down online payments so I can't overpay).

oh dear, not a good report! O/d has gone up by £16 since starting (whoops) so I've ended the month on £1516 overdrawn but with £235 put away separately, I guess the reality is it's now £1281.

Nothing to come from quidco this month but there's £40+ tracking and I've got car and house insurance to do during August so I'm hoping I can put both through and save a few pennies at the same time.

Wow JenJade,

You are doing so well. It would be great to be debt free by October. Myself and OH haven't gotten paid yet so no update from me at the moment!

juicygirl

That's me updated my sig now payments have cleared

Not much happening expect me making an overpayment on payday. That's probably all I'll manage this month cos things are tight cos I'm changing jobs and have 2 weeks with no pay

Have listed a couple of items on Amazon though so maybe a copuple of £ more still to come in xx

Juicygirl,

We have similar(ish) amounts of debt so I will look forward to seeing how you are getting along. I don't know about you but I am dying to get under the 20k mark!

juicygirl

Hi clearmydebts!!

I will watch you with interest too! Maybe it will help us to know that someone else is monitoring our progress

I was just thinking this morning how I cannot wait to be sub £20K. That will be a great milestone. It should happen for me on the 1st Aug when my loan payments come out. How bout you?
