Posts: 2 Newbie
Hi All,
This is my first post although I have been lurking around reading other posts and gathering idea's. I have reduced my spending and cut back on costs.
Today 16.10.08 I have decided I really need to get rid of my debts quickly. I will be 50 in July 2010 and want to be rid of as much debt as possible by then.
This diary will hopefully help me stay focused.

Lloyds TSB Loan - £11092.52
Egg Card - £5158.94
Virgin Card - £4982.51
Amex Card - £2816.67
Tax Credits - £805.17
TOTAL - £24854.81
Here goes.....
