Well guys my matched betting is going really well at the moment i only need another £575.89 to reach my goal off £2300 :j :j i is well pleased
Moi? Insinuate? As if I would!
Way to go James. Only a quarter of the year gone and you've reached almost 3 quarters of your target. (Maths was never my strong point, but in round figures...........)CCs @0% £24k Dec 05 £19,621.41 Au £13400 S 12600 Oct £11,981 £9481 £7500 Nov £7250 D £7100 Jan 6950 F £5800 Mar£5400 May £4830 June £4660 July £4460 Aug £3200, S £900, £0 18/9/07 DFW Nerd 0420 -
Hi again James,
Sorry to hijack your debt diary but I have to tell someoneas I'm feeling really pleased and proud of myself:D
Well I managed to get yet another fee free 0% card for 6 months albeit in husband's name this time and only £4k credit limit. They've agreed to transfer the full £4k so that leaves £1,400 to pay off the other card before the deal ends on May 2nd. This should be doable and then I have to pay the new card off at £666 :eek: per month to make sure it's all gone in October :T
With all your MB I wouldn't be surprised if you beat me to it. No-one would be better pleased than me (except you I guess!) if you get there first. :ACCs @0% £24k Dec 05 £19,621.41 Au £13400 S 12600 Oct £11,981 £9481 £7500 Nov £7250 D £7100 Jan 6950 F £5800 Mar£5400 May £4830 June £4660 July £4460 Aug £3200, S £900, £0 18/9/07 DFW Nerd 0420 -

Hiya James!!!!!!!! Not been around much as the saga with the car is still going on :mad: Then the pc started playing up...I knew I should have looked on here first though as some kind soul posted something on the techie board which had it sorted in 2 secs flat...after I'd been sat here 2 days trying myself :rotfl: My boys know more than me

Fantastic news Verbatim :j this has come at an excellent time for you to switch that debt over :T and you'll be debt free sooner than you know, your doing brilliantly and you and your other half will be debt free:beer:
Im still on for hitting the end of the year target date for my debt which really is my goal
If i can get this promotion ill be able to bring that debt date forward by a bit and hopefully be free of debt sooner rather than later, but my goal is the end of the year which is what ill be aiming for

Thanks for the kind words DD&D and James.
Blow me if the LTSB didn't offer me a 0% no fee BT for 6 months yesterday when I was about to close my card with them! If I'd known I wouldn't have gone to all the trouble of another card wfor OH with Ulster Bank. Anyway I've BT'd £1k over to LTSB so I don't have to repay that just now.
And James you're so going to get there, and before your target date I shouldn't wonder.CCs @0% £24k Dec 05 £19,621.41 Au £13400 S 12600 Oct £11,981 £9481 £7500 Nov £7250 D £7100 Jan 6950 F £5800 Mar£5400 May £4830 June £4660 July £4460 Aug £3200, S £900, £0 18/9/07 DFW Nerd 0420 -
