This thread is great. Anyone know the total if we all hit our targets. It must be a fortune:money:

See the first post.

Thanks skint_catt -for posting that. Yes the total to pay off is humungous! But we're doing well and hopefully will speed up as we get past the new year/post-christmas slump!

No money paid off my debts this week

But I'm hoping to have a good pay-day next week and take another chunk out of it- I'll come and update this thread when I have. I'm still reading MSE everyday, always looking for new ways to bring my debt free status ever closer!!!

D'oh haven't look at that since I joined thought it was just the rules and a list of names:o

The money we were waiting for to arrive, has and it's cleared straight into my account. It was a one off expense claim for my DH which we had to add onto our 0% credit card. It meant that it didn't show a true figure of our debt as I'd paid the same off the card, but then it was added back on! Confusing I know, but at last it's all sorted and our debt is £6932.58!:j


This morning I've paid £1065.00 to our savings for the car loan. I had hoped to pay it off this month, but I'll be £250ish short, so will have to wait another month! :mad:

Woot on clearing Natwest but :mad: to Next - what are they charging you £6 for? Just having the card?

I don't have a card, I've had the catalogue account for years now (I have a stupid limit of about 3400) and I've never been late with a payment but recently I've just noticed that they are charging me about £6 ish per month and calling it 'service charge' - I think it's cheeky as anything! It's tempting to put it on my credit card as its 0% and clear it off there instead - Also I hate the fact that I get charged for catalogues each time that I don't want! - im happy looking on the net if I want anything but Im not allowed to stop them! - I really should close the account but its convenient for work stuff :rolleyes:

Brilliant news on both fronts Chick! Have they said that you will get the waitressing job back?

hi everyone its been a manic week at the day job so not been able to post for a few days. I will be getting the waitressing job back so very excited. I'm also looking at moving to a cheaper flat to save even more money - i'm determined to pay off my debt so i can go and live in sydney for a couple of years.

hows everyone else going? Anyone else having a friday night in?:rolleyes:

The_Dragon

Yes to the Friday night in (and Saturday night as well! although tomorrow we will get some beer/wine and watch a DVD)
