the last £28 off EGG has gone out today!! thats ALL my CC debt paid off! yay
cant remember the last time i didnt owe anything on CC and its hard to believe that in Jan I owed £3500 on them!
will wait for it to clear off EGG and then will close it down - its got a £5500 limit so best to get rid of temptation!
that just leaves my 2 loans - one will clear in jan when my cheque clears from the uni and using the money thats in my ISA then that leaves me the biggy - my student loan of 13k. it WILL be gone by next xmas.
feeling very positive this morning.
also just waiting for our new telly to arrive - we have put money away for the last 7 months (i refuse to buy it on credit!) to buy it. its out xmas present to ourselves - cant wait.
gonna go into town shortly - got a military ball on friday and need something to wear under my dress to suck everything in!! lol - though am going to be MSE - got loads of M and S vouchers from birthdays and christmas's throughout the year that I never spend so hopefully will get it for free! yay
have a good day roomies and stay positive!

Morning,
Had not come across this thread before but if its not too late I would like to be included. I need targets and challenges. I have £23.5K approx of debt at present. I would like to clear it all of course but realistically I think £10K would be a massive challenge and an extremely nice amount of debt to be paid off. I am going to be trying many things in the new year to clear my debts.
So if ok I would be happy to join with £10K as the target amount.
Start debt £23,479.13.Total Debt now £22,525.07 Start Debt £32,732.36
£10207.29 OF DEBT PAID OFF:j 31.18%0 -
