Olympic Countdown aka clear those debts by July 2012!

Evening all, another couple of payments made taking my total paid so far to...

£629.35

Feeling slightly happer about that although I am about to rework my debt with interest etc to see if it alters anything :mad:

Also, not had a great week spending wise... £100 gone on the cat being ill and then the motor cable went in our car window so now have that to look forward to paying for. As soon as those fingers come in they will no doubt add to everything as I am sure they will come out of the overdraft or the credit card. Damn!

As soon as I know if I now owe more again I will let you know Dragon

just popping in to say that me & OH are now on a MISSION to do this - have just landed a very well paid job, so need to do a new SOA and get a debt free day. Watch this space!!

Made a payment of £25 today.

Even though ive made lots of payments due to bt and interest my balance has not gone as low as i wanted.

Going off the rails a bit in terms of keeping up.
According to the snowball I've paid £5081 out of a target of £28K which is 18.15%

Will update sig later

Oooh the total paid is creeping up! Thank you for the amounts paid off over the weekend

I have cancelled my cleaner - so from today I am back and fired up! No stopping me with debt busting or weight loss (now watch me trip at the first hurdle again :rotfl:)

Hi

Just popping in to say hi to everyone:wave:

In order to reduce overdraft fees I am resisting paying the debts until the end of the month (fingers are itching to press 'pay' on the online banking though:rotfl:). So - no movement on my debts for a while.....but I do keep popping in and checking on you lot......so keep up the excellent work.:beer:

I know the feeling, I am also resisting paying debt so I stop getting bank charges/credit card charges! Also have had to get small credit union loan to consolidate and pay off some of the horrible payday loans I've had for the last 12 months so debt is currently slightly higher than it was :mad:.

Cutting back spending is happening though am *slowly* getting into better habits!

Will update my total again when my debt figure has finally gone down again

Well done everyone by the way, keep up the good work!!! :T

Hurrah!! Finally posting to tell you I've paid some money off. Want to just do one of these posts a month so that it includes all interest n stuff. So I'll post every month after my barclaycard statement around the 15th. Have paid a total of £445.48 leaving me with £13832.76 still to pay.

However, thanks to this site, I successfully claimed back PPI on a loan I have so hoping to make a HUGE payment towards the end of the month once the cheque clears!! :beer:

Good Luck everyone

Is it just me, or is it a little disturbing that I've waited until after midnight to view my statement online so I can post an update? And also, I actually now look forward to my statements coming through rather than leaving them unopened?

Me too CherryPie! I'll also often get up at 6am (previously unheard of for me!) to check internet banking, make payments and update snowball as soon as my wages have cleared.
Well done on the PPI! :T
