    Haven't paid anything off my debt yet apart from the usual monthly payments, but am still saving to make a large overpayment in April. Have worked out that I will be DF 18 months before my DFD if I carry on saving like this :)

    Looking forward to seeing that post in April then Lilian!

    Sorry for not posting in ages. Nothing's really changed with the debt. Life got in the way and haven't made any signifigant payments. I think my hope of being debt free by June is unachieveable, end of the year tho would be great!

    Everyone else is doing really well!

  • I know it's a bit late in the day but can I add my OH's debt on here? I don't mind if you list it as COMP 2 or something... His debt is £9,744 and he's aiming for the end of the year.
    Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP

    Another £17.33 DD from my account today. Have worked out that I need to pay a minimum of £315 per month to clear debt by dec 31st. So I have been sorting out stuff for ebay/amazon today and photographing everything. I have uploaded all the pictures so now ready to list gonna try and do 2/3 a day until stuff is cleared. I am also waiting on my first payment of £40 from onepoll surveys should have this by next week. I should also be able to shave a bit of the grocery budget as we fully stocked our new additional freezer last month and seem to have loads left. Gonna go through and meal plan around what is in there hoping to save at least £50. This thread has gone very quiet at the moment. what is everyone else up to? Is anyone else ebaying/amazon or doing anything else to raise the extra cash
