WTG DT!!!
Just a small £5 for me today but have updated my sig. I have also realised that the £20k I have signed up to will be excluding interest, is that what everyone else does?, if that's the case I'd like to up my limit to £30k, I'm hoping that by the time I have paid that off the balance and the interest is added back we will owe approx £10k by this time next yearAug GC £63.23/£200, Total Savings £00 -
Hi all me again.
I am hoping to clear the rest of my debt by my birthday in October. Anyhow I suppose it can't but help to commit to being completely debt free by December 2010.
Hypno can you sign me in for £20k, this will be the final push. I have not updated my signature yet, but also expect some tax bills to come in March and October which should bring my total just over £20k in debt.
Thanks Hypno for running another challenge, it is just what I need to stay focused.
BBOriginal debt at LBM July 2008, £47, 654.34. Debt at January 2016, £21,443. Barclaycard [STRIKE]£9,000[/STRIKE]£8,756, Tesco cc [STRIKE]£3000[/STRIKE]£1,136. Debenhams storecard [STRIKE]£350[/STRIKE]£263, OD [STRIKE]£3,500[/STRIKE] £3,000, Corp Tax £3,036, Study loan £1,750, Smaller debts £2,000.
Since my LBM I have not been fully committed so now I have had a 2nd LBM.
Aiming to be debt free by December 2016:D0 -

Hi everyone
Please can I join this challenge, i would like to pay off 14,500.
I lost my job last week and after spending the week feeling sorry for myself decided i needed to be pro active, as sitting on the settee in my pjs watching murder she wrote was not really helping :rolleyes:
So in between looking for a job i want to be doing what i can to get some money coming in to be able to pay off more than minimum payments. Then when i have a job ill be able to use it as extra payments.
Good luck everyone, im looking forward to reading how everyone is doing.

Well done lincs!
Eagles74 - I hope you find something soon. Keep posting here - everyone is nice and has lots of tips for making extra money!
I love mystery shopping - not much extra cash per se, but free meals and trials mean you odn't have to buy boring things sometimes like toothpaste, shower gel etc!

Well done Eagles. A pro-active attitude will get you re-employed much faster than a negative one. Best of luck! :TPlease call me 'Pickle'
