The Debt Free Birthday Club Challenge!

Purpleclutterbuck

Just a quick hello ! DFB'S:cool:
I have got to get back onto the DFB track - I had to spend a small fortune:eek: on a new fridge and a new combi-oven ,this weekend, as they both gave up the ghost - both of them have to fit under the stairs so all I've done is go round places with a tape measure for a bank holiday treat!!!:rolleyes:
Now that it's all sorted I can neh- must concentrate on my DFB goal as I love to hear about someone paying off a loan/debt/overdraft - it makes me feel all :j
The next "sort-out" is on the agenda for tomorrow so I wonder what goodies I'll uncover - I'm now putting away 20p a day in a purple clutterbox to make a total of £73 each year towards chrimble and ooh! the post has just arrived so I want to go and work out the old debt totals ahem..... reduced debt totals woohoooo!

Hi folks

Min payment gone from account today so that's £73.64 to Sainsbugs and also did another overpayment of £30 to Asda la vista baby, as that's another 6 days of PAD done. Nearly 2% paid off.

Hello everyone

I have been following this thread since it started but have been too afraid to admit my total debt.:o So here goes if you will have me I would like to pay off my own and hubby's credit cards. We also have a loan but I have decided to keep that out of it at the moment as it will finish not long after my debt free birthday (hopefully):D

So by my 31st birthday on 28th December 2010 I would like to clear £14671.34:eek:

Everyone is doing so well and I hope that I can make this happen. I really don't know if this is possible but with free scratchcards, dooyoo, ebay, surveys and that wonderful bunch of posters over in PAD heaven I really hope it can :T

Hello all. Hope everyone is well.

Well done poppyjoe on the above post....I think that's the final stage of the light bulb moment when we post it up there for all to see. So congrats and you can do it!!

Well, since my first post here I have :



Knocked the Capital One down to £2,900 at May 1

Realised interest was £60 this month :eek:

Knocked it back down to £2,900 again with PADs

Had an expensive bank holiday weekend but re-calaculated until pay-day and added some NSDs and a low spend weekend coming up

Got a great new mobile deal with a decent amount of cash back (cheers Quidco)

Applied for a new job! Gonna be a long process as its government based but 1st step and all that

Hope everyone is doing great. Cool thread, great success stories!

Evening all!

poppyjoe - I will add you in the morning when I'm not using my useless laptop! Well done for taking the step to join us, you're among friendly debt-busting peeps here

LondonAndy - WooooHooooo for your encouraging words to the newbie and on your progress this month, yay to you :T Good luck with the new job, are you going to be a spy?

I'm doing away as usual, not a lot of progress at the moment, but I'm slowly chipping away at things and building up an emergency stash for the first time in my adult life I'm looking forward to my end of the month update!

Going to go and drink tea now, enjoy the rest of your night all!
