As its the 6th month ive gone through payments back to the 1st so effectively will be doing the half a year challenge :T lol if its ok still to join x

Have just under £20,000 in total (cc's, store cards, catalogues, cahoot loan :mad:) to shift :eek: realistically tho given half the year is gone ill go for target £6000 for the 6 months (thinking positive....) from 01/06/2011 have made £588.06 in payments... so my starting figure will be

HI debt due to cupcakes. Is it really? That's a lot of cupcakes!

Have just set up my payments to clear another £200 of O/D and £100 CC so by the time I wake up in the morning I will be that much closer to being debt free!! I'm going to try my best this month to control my spending and I've withdrawn cash for my bus fares and weekly spending money for the next month - if I can stick to that it would be AMAZING and means I can send a bit extra to a debt later on in the month, but also as I've had extra stuff to pay this month anyway (work course train fares and home insurance :mad:) PLUS it being a five week month, I should be able to make an extra big payment next month :A

We'll see anyway!!

PAID SO FAR 2011: £1835/3435

He he no not really!! I WISH it was because of a lot of cupcakes!! Unfortunately I was made redundant at my job in 2009 and after that I went from a full time job to only being part time,which knocked us for six for a little while! we used our credit card as a 'buffer' and things spiralled from there! I'm sick of this debt hanging over us now and I want rid!! It's been long enough and a want to take a good chunk out by end of this year!
