100 weeks - you can do it!! If you keep going and keep posting on here I'm sure we'd all like to applaude you when you reach the debt freedate!

lynseydee - well calculated - that's very acheivable and I'm sure you can do it! keep posting with your progress.Minnie spender - get through the studies and you'll be fine - just think how chuffed you'll be on graduation AND on your dfd knowing how hard you've worked.Spud - your OH may take the mickey, but how many people have the luxury of being able to start "a new path" so often in one lifetime? pretty cool I reakon! You'll love "going back to school" and don't worry, you wont be mistaken for a mum!!!!

Ok. Today's Good News to prove it's all going to be ok....
1)Tomorrow I have an interview for my dream job that would also pay more than I get now.
2)I was shortlisted for said job out of 300+ applicants. Woo hoo me! So even if I don't get it, I can be bl**dy proud.
4)This weekend I made £150 through amazon, ebay and part time tutoring, which I can throw at a cc to get it paid off quicker!
5)Over the weekend, I picked up a box of books for free through freecycle, listed them on amazon, and 1 was worth £90, with a buyer waiting to pay £20 - so I sold it at the lower price for a quick sale, covering costs from picking books up AND making money! Other books in the box were worth £40!!!

Well done to all - esp Spud30 - don't worry about being too old to learn: mature students normally do better than teenagers, so you'll be fine.

My good news is that I discovered today that i'd paid off a credit card that I thought still had £80 to go on it and also that I (fingers-crossed) will have knocked £500 (WOW) off our overdraft this month.

Mirtos

Cool. Well done. I'm trying to pay off a cc before the end of the month too, so looking forward to posting that good news.

Thanks kmycock !!

Today was my first day, in my p/t job and I loved it.

yay @ spud30 - glad you liked your first day. I actully loved the food at my school. The chips were great.

I am a Proud DFW (tm) cos today I made my very first overpayment (£10) on a debt. It's a small amount but this amount every week means debt paid off 3months earlier! using entitledto.co.uk worked out that if my claim for help with housing and rent goes through I'm going to be able to take less money from my shop so it can pay it's debts, I'll have enough to pay my bills and debts and then should be able to provide for my little family (rather than rely on the Government) a lot quicker.

Food was actually very grown up Oberon.

My freebie lunch was a tuna salad with a jacket spud.

At least if times get really bad, I can eat there during the week and just pay to feed my hubby and kids !!!

In the past month I have paid off more than £1000 of debt! I started my signature countdown about a month ago, and already I am £1000+ down. Hooray!!!:beer:
