  • Unsecured Debts
    Description....................Debt 1/1/09......Monthly.. .APR - NOW
    loan...........................13163.5.. .223.6................ .6.9 10500
    tesco..........................1942.. ...51.................... .17.5 ...0
    mbna...........................852.... ...25......................17.9 650
    OD .................................................. ........................1000 ish
    CITI .................................................. ......................1480
    Total unsecured debts..........15957.5...299.6.....-13630 - 2330 ish cleared in 2009

    Not great but still movement - OD is a guess after Month end bills and Jan spends


    Keep forgetting Citi balance so overestimate - statement says Im £80 ahead so figures a tad better.

    Still trying not to spend.

    £10 for top up shop but that should really be a weekly shop as I have loads in so hoping not to need to spend much else this week. £13 on taking younger to out to indoor play area to burn off energy. £5 on McD last week and £3 to DD1 for swimming today so not too bad. Bank balance looking poor at alost 800 overdrawn so need to work hard to keep it to the proposed 1000 :eek:

    No work to Tues :j should really ebay some bits and tidy my room so
