I've got a big update today, but this will probably be the only big payment. As my last car payment has gone out. :j:j:j:T:T:T:beer::beer::beer: plus some other bills. I've had the money for a few weeks but didn't want to add it until the bill had been paid. So my total for today is £4851:eek: & I'm now offically poor until payday again. Think I'm going to do the night shift that is going tonight for extra money.Total debt £13318 :idea: paid £5660 Left to pay £7658 57%

Hi everyone,
I've no totals to update yet, but just had an interesting 'chat' with Halifax when I called to close my cc account. They offered me a great deal (after some haggling of course) 4.94% for life of balance and upped my limit, which means I will be able to transfer here when my other 0% ends. I know its not as good as always keeping on 0%, but the credit card shuffle stresses me out, and you are always taking the transfer fees into account. I estimate that it will take us about 3 years to clear off at that :eek: Have to sympathise with Amatheya81 am feeling that I will never have 'a life' againMy OH and I both hit the big 40 this year not sure how we will celebrate that on our new budget, the 'fun & frolics' colum is blank
:(:(:(

Blimey Orio it's only Feb and you've nearly paid off half the £10k!!! That's improssive.
Maybe you need to treat yourself Peetzil. 3 years is an awful long time to go without some fun. I've got 3 years (atleast) before I'm debt free as well.
I've just set myself a goal that once I have no debt I can treat myself by buying a 3D TV, they should be more main stream by then (they may have even figured out how to get rid of the glasses, they recon that will happen within 10 years)... I am aware that I'm absolutely hopless though, I still haven't finished paing off my last TV!!! D'oh0 -
Got a terrible headache this morning
Cleared up a bit now. Gone back into my O/D so figures will be skewed untill end of month. Will update tonight when peaceful (apris mon petit pois betimes)

Can completely sympathise with those who are feeling miserable about their debts. I get that way too sometimes. I am desperately trying to clear everything before I hit the big 30 in June 2012.
To be honest, the only thing that really works for me when I am feeling down about my money is sleeping. (And it's free!) I find I wake up in a better mood and a clearer frame of mind.
As well as feeling miserable I am also going through the "being angry at myself stage". I can't believe I was as stupid as I was when I got into this mess. I swear this is the biggest emotional rollercoaster I have ever been on :rotfl: !!
Well done to everyone, just think where we will all be this time next year!

£211.07 loan payment today, so my month has started!
I have decided to include my mortgage in my totals below. It is currently interest only so did not include it, however as I am (hopefully) transferring my card debt to 0% I have worked out via snowball that I will be better off in the long run paying extra off the mortgage instead of the cards.
Also my mortgage rate is very good at the mo, so I may as well do it now and pay off as much as I can before they put the interest rate up.
Congrats on all the totals so far this month!:grouphug:LBM January 2010 Debt £22,239.51 Mortgage £120,99910K in 2010 = £1520.48 15.2% LOAN = £11,819.92 / £1055.35CC1 = £940.57 / £67.06 CC2 = £2994.71 / £156.43CC3 = £3494.00 / £239.93 CC4= £2678.00 / £159.00 Mortgage = £120,999.00 / £0.00 [STRIKE]O/D = £126.81[/STRIKE]Total = £143,238.51:eek: / £1520.48 :j= £141,805.35 1.06%0 -
