  • Can I join please? I will check my online banking at the end of every day and pay the 'odd' against my A&L CC which currently stands at £410. This will be in addition to my minimum payment of £25. I'm also planning on gettting cracking on ebay and anything I make off that will also go straight off the total. Will start on 1st Jan 09 and aim to have the card paid off by end of Feb...

    Hi all and a warm welcome to all newcomers.

    Ive added all my debts up today and added £600 to the total which is what will be 12 months interest on the horrid overdraft and the full total owed stands at £4781.

    I am hoping to clear it all in 12 months but it's going to be tough. Cos we would like a UK holiday and decorating too this year. So we will do our best.

    My other new years resolution is to lose 8 stone but I will be happy with 5.
    So every Mon from January I will post my weight loss too. I hope you wont mind cos it will really help me.

    £2 pad today.

  • Oh this is so frustrating! Only £47.47 needed and my official DFD will be brought forward by a month... it is going to be the longest 5 days ever until payday on Friday... I so desperately want to pay more off!
