    Just withdrawn £10.10 from my free daily scratchcard. Not going to put this towards anything as *ahem* I have accidently gone into my overdraft (too much haste earlier this month!) and this is higher APR than my cards!
    Paying down the mortgage:
    At 1 October 2011: £226,000
    Currently: £224,499
    Aim: 85% LTV (£212,500)
    Paid £1,500
    Target remaining: 88.89%
  • morning, my regular loan payment of £421.85 came out today, so my total paid is looking a bit healthier!

    my DH had a letter from one of his creditors this week - basically a 'make us an offer' letter on his outstanding balance of £469. DH is going to speak to paypal today to see what they have to say. but we do have £300 (which is pencilled in to clear CC1). does anybody have any experience of negotiating F&F settlements? should be offer half or start lower? any advice appreciated.
    Jan GC £0/£200

    Afternoon all. Looks like I am not going to make it under £30k this month - we have MOT due in early March and I want to keep back as much money as possible in case we have a big bill. Keep up the good work all.

    Theskintfamily - good luck with your settlement! Unfortunately I can't offer any advice though

  • Hi, can I joint his challenge too or is it too late into the year? I could really use the support from the group on clearing debt, as when I add it all up it really does scare me!
