Olympic Countdown aka clear those debts by July 2012!

Hiya dragon - another £60 for me today (I found some old foreign currency in a draw and changed it up takes my total up to £499

According to my calculations thats 1.78% but I will defer to your greater mathematical skills

PS - I've added my min payments to your totals but won't add them to my signature until the end of the month - hence the difference

Hello All

Well we seem to be gathering more contestants by the day!

Another £20 for me please dragon, thanks.

Just done another online payment, checked my balances (as you do) and now report that I have paid off £596.26

Thats 2.12% :T:T

I've made a few calls to existing lenders today where I have zero balances and they are willing to do a few low/no interest bal trans
I don't need any at the moment as I need to do a bit of juggling and spreadsheet manipultation but I will be doing some transfers over the next month which should see my debts reducing

5% by the end of Feb is a nice short term target :cool:

Got £100 unexpectedly from DS (he owed it but I didn't expect to get it;)) and so paid that off Very and added £9.50 to round down the debt to £200.

Also paid £12.50 off Choice today.

So today's total from me is £122

Edit: Paid another £151 off Barclaycard No. 2 - so total today & yesterday is £122 + £151 = £273:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

Morning Dragon

I raided one of the twins accounts yesterday - I felt quite justified as the £600+ in there had only made £3 interest in the last year

I have removed £500 and put it on my debts

I have therefore paid off £1097 so far - thats 3.91%

An unexpected additional £199 from me today (DH got reimbursed for some course costs - so straight off a CC):j

Dragon, I am sure you are keeping track;) but just in case I make it I have now cleared £899:T

Ok - me again:o

It's a new day and the DD's come of the bank. Another £228 off the debts today. So annoying that in reality it's more but they always insist on adding this nasty virus thing called 'interest' - it's not at all interesting so I have no idea what daft nutter ever thought to call it that. Mind you I suppose if I was 'earning' it instead of paying it then I might find it interesting:rolleyes:

So, running total off my debts is £1,127:T:T:T:T:T:T

I am going to try sooooo hard to find another £42 to pay off today cos that would take me sub £47k - how great would it be to say last Friday (LBM;)) I owed in excess of £48k, and less than one week later I only :rotfl: owe 'just' over £46k (ok...just over....is taking the michael but who cares;))

Hi,

A bit of help please, not sure if this is the right place but I'm sure someone will know the answer.

I'm filling out a snowballing form - I have a loan that I took out in Nov 08 for £12,000 paying £198 per month and one final for £340 for 7 years, rate of 10.4%. In my Excel spreadsheet I showing £16380 which is £198 x 81 + £340.
Which figure do I put into my snowballing form?

Good news I applied for a new egg card 0% till March 11 + 3% balance transfer fee and got accepted only took 15 mins.

Thanks for your help.
