Am signed up and raring to go Tirlittan!
Congratulations Laura- look forward to hearing all about your plans

Happy New Year everyone!

Thanks Jellie

My first major money saving plan is: make my own invites. I have made birthday cards/thank you cards for years but just need to get an idea together for simple, cheap yet chic invites and associated stationary

Hi everyone,

Happy new year.

I am so excited about this year already. Hoping to be debt free by my birthday in October or at Christmas the very latest.

Happy New Year everyone!

New year, new ticker



Pleased that its over 50% as that was my aim but was boosted hugely by my PPI refund so will be harder to maintain this year - but I am going to do it!

Well done Shrimpy!

Laura- will be good to see your design. I assume you'll be heading over to the wedding and crafts sections for inspiration!

Hi all:j

Just popping in to update this year's total - don't know how to do a ticker I'm afraid though

Anyhow, since Feb 09 ( debt £60,812 :eek:) have paid off £15,518......no of ccs now down from 9 + loan to 5 + loan. Still a heck of a way to go & DFD is showing as 22 months. Did want it to be in 9 months, but maybe that's a bit too ambitious lol:D

Happy 2010 everyone & here's to a DF future:j:j:j

Happy New Year everyone!

Just checking in to say I'm still plugging away at the debts. They're all dropping each month, and I'm on target to start ploughing through the smaller debts in time for July, when I'm going to snowball my way through the big nasty one.

My main aim is still to be debt free by February 2012, but for now I'm going to focus on clearing as much as I can by Christmas.

Good luck everyone, and thanks for the continued support, smiles and encouragement!

Made minimum payment to Egg today so updated ticker





Hate having a day off and no extra money for payments! 9 days til payday... perhaps a tinker with the budget sheet might satisfy my need to debt bust!
Keep going everyone, this is the sticky time of year as we all know so a little slow down is inevitable but we will all get there x

Thanks for the encouragement Shrimpy- good to see your ticker over 50% and SH moving in the right direction too!
Am looking forward to my end of month update. It won't be as good as I hoped but I'm proud of how well I've done considering!!
