Well looks like the race is on for December 2011. I am waiting for over £50 to clear through quidco wish it would hurry up, I now have about £40 to find to hit my £3k in October so i may have to set a new target there.
We have £200 left to get us through to 25th October this is including DH wages going in so budget is tight we have 4 weekends to get through and I will need at least one more tank of petrol. I do have £100 i can use which I have set aside for times of need although we have DH parents visiting through October for a weekend will have to do it on the cheap.
I probably shouldnt have bought lottery tickets but I have decided to only play on rollovers now that should save a few pennies.
Just logged onto Lloyds and they have sent me a message offering 6 months 0% although the small print says payments will be made to 0% amount first so I will just have to wait 2 more months then take advantage.
Hope ebay money arrives tomorrow then Thursday is payday for DH not sure if i should leave us a bit more in the budget and reduce my payment again to lloyds, although I do have a little bit in a savings account if im really stuck.MARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035

WOW hwg you certainly are powering through with being df :T I wish I could be as motiviated:o
I too would like my df date to be Dec 2011 but the realistic target is more like May 2012:(
My first target is to get my cc under £6,000 by end of Dec 2010, which is doable, if I can get it down even further I will be extatic but I want to be able to do some things whilst trying to be df to can't overstretch too much.
I'd best get on with some ovetime:rotfl:0 -

How is that even fair
I asked nicely for a new card (want to collect the airmiles). I have a platinum account with Lloyds TSB and earn more than enough to fit their criteria, plus have no adverse credit at all! Damn Lloyds!!! :mad: Adam's diary - My Debt Diary - The Challenge | LBM May 2010 with £23,343.35 | £16,141.46 to go...

So the figures are in and month end now stands at £36380.00 and Lloyds is at £3120 as still waiting for money to clear. My aim for October is to get the total debt to £36000 which would put me £500 ahead of my budget, I know i already have £100 waiting to clear so only £280 to find.
I know September would be tight with DS birthday and a hen night and wedding to attend so I am pleased with the result. Also interest is killing us at the moment so I am working hard to sort that out.
Money for October
£170 in the bank
£51.30 in my purse (forgot I put £50 in a side pocket for just in case at the wedding)
£100 spare which i have put into the savings account
this works out about £55.00 a week for food and petrol this deoesnt include spare money
The freezer is running low I think i can probably get 6 evening meals out of it.
Next month I am hoping to hit £34,500 as I will have some extra to throw at the debt once mortgage is reduced.MARCH 2016 DEBT £25750/ £25035
