Morning Everyone!
Just paid my daily £1 and an additional £20! Yesterday I signed up for Hypno's "pay £20K by Christmas 2010". I've said that I want to clear my debt, which is a little unrealistic I suppose, but I'm hoping it will focus me so that I remain on track to clear all my unsecured debt by July 2012.
I'm also continuing with the sealed pot challenge. I currently have a few sealed pots on the go that are around 3/4s full - I haven't opened them but will do when they are maxed!!
Not in work today, so am going to spend my time having a clear out. I have lots and lots of stuff that I can Ebay. I won't have chance now before Christmas, so I think I'm going to set myself a little challenge for 2010 to Ebay all the things I no longer want and chuck the proceeds towards my debts!
Big "Hi's" to Novagirl and BadPenny - hope you're both keeping up with your daily £1's!!
Hope everyone is doing well with their own debt free missions!0 -
i also signed up to a similar challenge but to pay off 10k in 2010! My BHF stall is taking place tomorrow so hopefully that'll raise lots of money for the charity. i also have my own stall selling some of my old stuff (like a little car boot) so that should help clear the house if nothing else.
won a few competitions ~ £20 and a novelty sat nag so will keep entering lots in the hope that I win big one day. hehe
have been keeping up with my £1s so as not to let the side down0 -
Hi Novagirl,
Good luck with the stall today - hope you make lots of dosh! Good to hear you're keeping up with the daily £1s!
I've just made a payment towards my card - my daily £1 plus £6 for rounding down my account. 944 days to go!!!
Have a great day!0 -
944 days! YAY
Stall didn't make much money ~ more stall holders than people but I'm researching some more local fayres to try and boost the total for BHF0 -
Hi
Haven't paid much off my balances this week, other than my daily £1's. However I have banked somne cheques totalling just over £700 so that cash will be flung at my debts as soon as it's cleared.
Novagirl, such a shame about the stall. Good idea to look elsewhere. How are your daily £1's going?0 -
Keeping up with the daily £1s. Will be great to be debt free so it's keeping me going.
My little girl and I are both poorly (her alot more than me!) so we are snuggled on the sofa and I'm entering all the competitions I can.
Good to hear about the amount of those cheques.0 -
Hey Nova, sorry to hear you're both poorly - there's tons of sniffles going around abut it's a great excuse for taking it easy and lots of cuddles!
I've just paid £30 towards my TCC so getting there slowly....0 -
Morning!
Just topped up my TCC so have managed to throw £1,000 at my debt this month. Additionally, I've been saving for Christmas this year so have not paid for any presents on my credit cards so although I'm in debt, I'll begin 2010 in a better shape than anticipated.
I'm going to sit down on the weekend and put together my goals for 2010 so that I can start planning and make sure I remain focussed.
Have a good day all!0 -
Sounds a great idea to put down some goals for 2010!0

Morning!
Have paid a further £400 off my debt - 939 days to my anticipated Debt Free Date.
Need to finish writing my Christmas cards tonight - it really feels like a chore this year!
Novagirl, hope you and your little one are feeling much better....0
