    ahhhh cheers annie :) been ill the past few days so not been up to concentrating on figures and the like :)

    Right with me extra money i will be getting it will give me an extra £1250 (i will be getting approximatley another £250 a month extra :j )

    Im going to use as much as i can to try and pay off more of my debt, but ive got the MOT looming in September (plus my car insurance is due then as well as i need to get a new headlight and brakes for me car :rolleyes: i totally forgot about these :doh: )

    Fortunatley i paid for 12 months of me Road Tax this year so i dont have to worry about that until February 2008 :)

    Im going to try and apply as much as i possibley can to paying me debt off and hopefully cross fingers it will help me get rid of me debt before the end of the year :)

    So what you are basically saying is that you can't be bothered to head over to the snowball calculator, edit the monthly figure and read off the new debt free date :confused:

    I don't know, some people just spend all their time slacking :rolleyes:

    errrr..............:D


    ahh to be honest ive got a few bits that i need to pay out like i said so if i have any bits spare then im going to try and put it towards paying off me debts :)

    ultimately it could shave another couple of months of me debt free date but i dont know how much im going to need to use for insurance and repairs to me car :)

    Hiya peeps :hello:


    This is how me finances work out for this month :)

    My new wage i will get on the 1st July so for this months wage packet im still on me old money :)

    Incoming:

    Wages: £1176.94


    Outgoings:

    Rent: £280.00

    Broadband: £0

    Mobile Phone(s): £42.00

    Travel Card: £33.80

    Savings: £10.00

    Loan: £303.71

    O/Draft: £133.00


    Total: £802.51


    So that means ive got £374.42 left :) im going to over pay my loan by £200 this month and live on the £174, ive given my self a little bit extra this month cos ive got a few birthdays for relatives coming up so need to get some presents and also need some petrol money to get down there :)

    Ive got another £145 coming from quidco due to matched betting, and my figure is plodding along nicely at the moment, cross fingers by the end of June i should be pass the £2500 mark :j

    Im so proud of doing the matched betting because i only started out with £100 and ive built up that total, i will be sad at the end of the year when i have to use it to pay off my debt :( but thats what im doing it for and it really does help me focus on becoming debt free before the year ends :)

    me 0% ends at the end of June so me July statement will have all the interest on it.

    At the moment ive applied for a Morgan Stanley 0% for 9 months so im just waiting on an answer from them at the moment :) hoping they will say yes and give me a big enough credit limit to transfer :)
