The big challenge - pay off £20k by Christmas 2010

frugalzzz

Hi all, well I managed to chop some more money off the debt €260, but unfortunately dh managed at the same time to add €400 to the cc debt while he was away travelling. Grrrrrrrrr! Not to worry, I have to look the bigger picture here which is the €12,411 we've cleared down since my LBM last July. I am desperate to clear my personal loan and the cc down to zero in time for our first anniversary of that LBM, so I was furious with him.

My 'pep talk' seems to have worked however, as his spend so far this week is .94c LOL!

I have paid £50 off my Virgin card and £153 from my Brit loan today.

frugalzz my credit card spends are going up too. I have stopped DH from using the cc for co-op purchases and had to have a talk too. This week he has asked me before spending.

He just didn't realise how close our income and expenditure are. The last thing we needed was more debt that is not business related.

We're doing great let'skeep it up.


Today I have paid ......£4466.13 off Barclays 6.9% card and £45 off BMI card....

So have now hit my £20k for the year challenge but will keep on going and see exactly what I manage to pay off by the end of the year

I'll be in a position to stuff 500 against debt next Monday, and I've nearly broken my arm patting myself on the back in anticipation of it. You leave the rest of us sitting in the hal'penny place. What a star!

I must say..DH has never spent on the cards they are my debt in his name..lol
We don't use CCs at all now.
The payment today was my savings that I've been putting away for the last few months..I was going to pay my loans off with it but changed my mind and decided it was best to get rid of Barclays...

i aim to be debt and mortgage free by feb 2014 or sooner.
