That's great news on the sofa payments finishing earlier than anticipated. How much does that free up a month Bec's?LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

10 Apr - the day before my 27th birthday!
Bring it I shall, I will get my current DFD to match yours by the time I go away, how's that sound?!
Bring it on!Adam, when you paid Egg would they not let you pay the whole balance at once and made you wait for the final interest charges?
I cleared the whole balance, but the statement on the 18th will be interest. I'm keen to see what it comes to though and will be asking for a full explanation if I think it's too much.Adam's diary - My Debt Diary - The Challenge | LBM May 2010 with £23,343.35 | £16,141.46 to go...

That gives me another £45 a month! :j
It wasn't too bad in terms of the fact that it was 0% and I never included it in my debt total, kind of just saw it as another bill. But very nice to be able to re-direct that £45 towards the loan from now.Debt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j0 -

Cool, thanks, just wanted to check as they did the same to me, and I've never had that before when I've cleared a card.Debt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j0 -

That's almost an extra £50 towards debt busting every month, excellent.LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

Am picking some stuff up from Freecycle tonight.
A lot of the stuff on there people don't want it sold which is fair enough but also there are plenty of people who put up boxes of stuff for carbooting.
My plan (as I've already sold pretty much all my sellable stuff) collect some junk together, do a carboot, raise some cash!Debt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j0 -
Thats a really good idea becsicle!!! I often considered raiding charity shops for labelled goods and ebaying them but charity shops have got quite 'expensive' now!
Well done on your new balance and that extra £45 will go a long way. Glad to hear you had fun yesterday, I second going at non peak times, when we went to Alton Towers we were allowed in early and we just stayed on nemesis for 3 goes, my god did I want to puke afterwards though :rotfl:.
Look at you lot and your fighting talk, am almost tempted to try and run up some more debt so I can join in!!! Obviously I wont though :cool:
Very happily married on 10th April 2013

Thanks guys, had a lovely day out, which although not very warm the sun shone all day, which was great.
And I spent the grand total of £5.90! :T
Tickets were entirely free in the end and I only bought a bacon and mushroom roll and a can of coke for breakfast on the way and chips and coke for lunch. (i'm so healthy!)
the girl who drove didn't want any money for petrol bless her.
And I went on all but two of the rides, I am getting so brave! :rotfl:
Glad you had a lovely day and well done for not spending much!0 -
