    I got £15 in my account today from a mystery shop, so have transferred it to the debt pot......

    keep going guys, you are all doing really well, and remember every penny you pay off is a penny you no longer owe xx

    Hello everyone,
    I've just written off to cancel my gym membership and mobile phone contract - which will free up an extra £61 per month to put towards my payments. Every little helps ;)

  • I won't be paying anymore before the half way point, so my total thus far is £10,874.......

    Oh, and I'm a man as well......last time I looked ;)

    Ok Confession time
    Good News
    My Egg money arrived in my account today
    I paid off my second Halifax Credit Card

    Bad News

    My total debt has gone up by £5582.96
    Have had a pay cut of £15K

    The reason for debt going up being overspend on car budget :rolleyes: Cooker packing up and the fact that due to the pay cut I would not have been able to clear my HSBC 0% Card which ends in October. So I decided to take the Egg money I was hoping it would come in next week so I wouldn't have to include it in my half year figures;).

    The result however is that all my CC debt is now at 0% saving me at its highest £830 interest per month :eek: (actually it would have been more than that because pre LBM I had actually cleared £20K off the CCs. I can't believe we had so much debt:o).

    I have updated my sig if we hadn't bought the car my paid off figure would have been great :rolleyes: as it goes I am not going to make the challenge this year but I calculate it should be around the £30K mark so not too bad all things considered

    So my total so far for this challenge is £11,180.49. It is not likley to change before the end of the month now so that is my half yearly report.
