    The good stories of debt busting certainly keep me motivated to keep at it as and when I can.
    DT hope things begin to improve you. lets hope the win is the beginning of a good run for you.

    Hi all..lovely day again...crisp but dry.

    Am quite a happy bunny as have had my thinking hat on:j:j:j:j:j

    I'm giving up on the Santander CC transfer as they don't know their asses from their elbows:eek::eek::eek:...

    So I had that 0% offer from MBNA(A+L ) card until March 2010...so have done a money transfer to my bank....I will then pay it to Virgin.:T
    Then I have done a BT for the other £1800 from DHS Halifax CC:T:T
    So we should be at nil then bar £5 and interest.. and it's all back on 0%:T


    Why didn't I think of that before?:eek::eek::eek:

    couple more posts to follow..sorry

    Right onto the mortgage plan:
    Quite excited about this as I may even be debt and mortgage free by the end of the mortgage free in three challenge that ends in December 2012.
    How good would that be? :D:D:D:D:D

    If I save £500 p/m x 36 months =£18000 plus interest.
    £448 odd mortgage payment about £400 comes off capital(£400x 36)= £14400

    Both halifax loans finish in 2 years..one £186.01 and one £196.60
    12 x£186.01 =£2232.12 + interest
    12 x £196.60=£2359.20 + interest

    TOTAL.....£36991.32 plus interest.

    £44560.97 -£36991.32 =£7569.65

    £7569.65 -£1730 (egg)= £5839.65-( reg saver£500) =£5339.65 -£1000..(nov,dec 500p/m reg saver) =£43339.65

    £4339.65 divided by 36 =£120.54 p/m into egg





    So I need to put away £500 p/m reg saver
    £150 p/m egg for mortgage and say £100 rough towards tax
    and pay off all bills and this assumes letting the loans run their course.
    I have not took into account any interest gained either...nor november mortgage payment

    May be doable.
