Does anyone want to go head to head?

Wow!

I've just caught up with this thread. I'm amazed at how quickly the numbers are moving.

Well done all of you.

And if anyone has a spare £10 when its all over...............

Payday!

And a whooping £425 paid off!

That'll be beans on toast for the rest of the month then!

Well done. That's a huge amount. Do you need to update your signature or do you still have £1000 to go?

I wouldn't want to be sitting next to you at work next month if beans are going to be your staple food source!:D

I'm making the min payment on Monday when I get paid, and then clearing the whole balance from both C/C when my OH bonus comes through next month. I will be battling the Loans then (scary!!!)

No - I've updated the sig. My temp job went permanent and I decide to put a bit extra, including the tax refund I got, into the debts. I'm used to living frugally these days anyway and I'm amazed at how far I can make money stretch these days. Big up the DFW and OS boards, I say! A positive education!

And I may well go mad and introduce Asda cheap pasta into the diet too!

Hello everyone

I hope you are all doing well. Sorry I haven't posted much, I've been busy Ebaying everything I own

I'm going to update my signature later on but I'm up to about £600 and that doesn't include AQA.

When I hit £1,000 though it will change to paying off my boyfriend as he is lending me the rest of the money to pay my mum back as I need it by the beginning of next month.

I would have had £97 to pay off the C/C after selling a games console on ebay - however it has more than likely been won by a scammer (see my "is paypal safe" thread. I've offered it on second chance offer - but people hardly ever take those up. I'm more than a little peed of at the mo.

Em - what is AQA?

Hey everyone...

Am still here too...

My total currently stands at £900.61 but I have a few pounds coming off in the next few days i.e.
Full-time job
2nd job
3rd job
and am owed about £100 from Mystery Shopping (but can't guarantee when that will come in)...

Will update my total at end of the month.

Good luck to everyone!

Slowly slowly! I got paid for both of my jobs yeaterday and today, but as I'm off on holiday next week, I can't really throw them at debt until I get back - just in case IYSWIM? Although I've budgeted carefully for the holiday, I don't want to find I've missed something and end up going into the overdraft again:eek: so I figure it's better to wait and then pay off a big lump when I get back - hopefully, I'll be able to clear off the current challenge, and start a new one :rotfl:. On the good news front, I got a £10 cheque from that screenselect free trial yesterday, so I shall cash that, AND my M&S cc arrived, with 3.9% life of balance transfer AND a £5000 limit, so I'm going to do some transfers to reduce my interest, AND, barclays have written to me offering to settle my bank charges claim of £345 for £170 - which means that they're cracking! I'm going to write back asking for the full amount or I'll take legal action. All in all, a good day I think - the money's there, I just haven't paid it off the debt yet!!!xxx

Another £25 off...

LookingAhead

I sorted £200 payment off mine today (leaving me pretty skint for October but hey ho) which goes some way to making up for the "falling off wagon" incident this month.

I know I haven't been posting much on this at all, but I am still in!
