Emily Hallett started a fantastic thread called 'a payment a day' which you can find here:
http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1079175
:T The thread has been a fantastic success and has grown so much it is fit to burst!! We have decided to carry on Emily's great idea in this new thread:
New Year New thread, more debt busting!
The principle of the idea is that you pay any extra money you have against a debt to clear it a little bit quicker. Not everyone makes a daily payment, but instead they save money to make a lump sum at the end of the month. You can do it anyway you want to, but join the thread and let us know how you are getting on.
Anyone is welcome to join in at anytime. You will find all the posters are extremely friendly and we are all very supportive of each other.
Best wishes for 2009 everyone :beer:

Had an interesting chat with the bank last week. Unfortunately both me and OH found out we will be stuck on basic hrs for the forseeable future, this was not good news as we've had a manic month with bills coming out our ears. Some were things i'd forgotten about and some were just unexpected. Thing is, if i were to just plod along as normal in 3 months we'd be n some serious poo! So i've had to do the one thing i didnt want to do.....Take out a consolidation loan:o. Has both its positives and negatives. Negatives being its a loan i didnt want (but needed!), and 2 its over 6yrs!. The positives being, i've managed to save us £190 a month on our out goings and 2 its a flexi loan so i can and will be making overpayments.
Crazy thing was the lady in the bank showed me how long it would take for me to get out of this mess if our money wage situation stayed the same.
We're £600 into our o/d and once all of our bills have been paid we could afford to pay no more than £20 a month towards it! Then that brings us to my cc. My intrest free peroid ends soon and coz of our o/d getting another interest free card wasnt looking good. We were told it could take us in excess of 40odd yrs to clear it all:eek:
Right sorry for the rant. I feel a lot more positive going into 2009, hope everyone here all the best :beer:

It's nice to see a new thread for 2009 - now which brave soul wants to volunteer to add up all our PADs each day? :rotfl:
On with mine, £3.97 paid to the Overdraft Begone Fund, and 8p interest went into that account too, so total PAD of £4.05. Shame my overdraft interest of £3.04 came off today
Hope you all had a lovely night and that you're not feeling too rough today

As it stands today our DFD is June 2012 - just in time for the Olympics! So I am aiming to get it cleared by Dec 2011 ..... which sounds so much better.
I will be paying something 'extra' everyday to our debts - even if it's only £1. I will put it into a jar and make the payment at the end of each week. We cleared our overdraft this week and will be living within our credit balance for the first time in a decade! I psychologically (big word for this time in the morning) like the idea of living within our means and reducing the debt everyday!
I'll check in with this thread to keep me on track. Thanks for the support!
