    hello everybody peeps
    well the cheques have cleared, and now in the pot upstairs so im up to £180,

    my aim is to get at least £250 a month, so that i can get the debts down by £1k every quarter, so that is a £4k paid, plus the £2k+ that i already pay means DF by 2011
    If we can put a man on the moon...how come we cant put them all there?

  • Yay, I managed to get a £12 late payment fee refunded :)

    I've decided to borrow the £200 I need to get through the month from my credit card :( I really don't like the idea of borrowing from my mom when I won't be able to pay her back for a long time.
  • Evening all.
    not been on for a few days so been catching up reading all the posts. everyone is doing great, i cant wait till 22nd when i get my next lot of money so i can pay some more off.
    I had a bit of a shock today, i worked out what i actually pay off my lloyds refinance loan, i pay £90 a month and only £30 actually goes off the balance, what a joke. :eek: So i have decided this is going to be my first debt to go, if i stick to my plan i should be rid of it by august which would be fab!!! :j

    Hoping the kids are back at school tom (fed up of snow days now lol) and im gonna have a good sort out in the loft, see what i have to go on ebay ;)

    Hi there,
    I have just paid £83.43 off of barclaycard today, i have written this in my signature. I am sure i will have to adjust it slightly due to a bit of interest barclaycard will add, but it shouldnt be by much.
