  • Hi All

    £79.03 paid from wages to cc's - £79 to one and £1 to the other but only needed to pay 3p, so ill find something to buy with the spare 97p on my cards, so annoying when they do that!
    Balance now: £3030.25/£6500.00 46% paid so over the £3k mark now - yay! - :j
    Not going to hit target this year which I am pretty annoyed about but I would have done over half, better than nowt! Going to be down to min payments for now atleast with the exception of any mystery shops I get. Should really Ebay but I am moving next weekend and I have quite a bit of sorting a packing to do still. Can't decide if to take it with me to see if I can get a bit of money, or take it to the charity shop and start afresh straight away when I move? Any thoughts?

  • 166million - maybe you could use half to pay off the debts then keep the other half incase you need it, but be strict and keep it for extreme emergencies, then use whatever is left at the end of the month to pay off more.
    kdenty - hope your Dad is well again soon.
    Well done to everyone who has reached targerts, keep going everyone else!

  • Kdenty, well done but sorry to hear about your dad:(
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • 166 - I don't have much in the way of will power when it comes to spending so I do my overpayments as soon as the pay cheques go in. I guess if you move money to a savings account that you know you wont access unless its a dire emergency then I imagine that would work too.

    kdenty - well done on the debt front and all the best for next year for you and your dad.

    There are loads of people reaching there targets this month aren't there?? Well done!

    Hi all new total of 2169.89. Got to start ebaying like a mad person for the clear out before the dreaded C word. Don't think i will reach my target by the end of the year as i need to clear 444.37 a month and this seems impossible even with the best will in the world but at least i know i will be debt free shortly into next year:j:j
    #Sealed pot #085.
    1 debt versus 100 days £108.32/£300:j
    Debt Jan 2016 £6877.37. Aug £6155.56
    xmas saving £1 a day 274/366.
