That is my total debt as of today. Down £4,744 since the start of 2006. My aim for the year was to pay of £6,000 and by the end of december I will have paid just over £5,000 off. So not doing too bad.
November seems a good time to take stock of the situation as december will be focused around christmas. A lot of the smaller debts I had to deal with are gone. Leaving more to pay the bigger ones. I won't miss wescot or capital one. Its sad in a way my christmas present will be paying off the last chunk of capital one cc. Happy in an other way as I'll be better off in the new year.
Can't wait for the first of January to set a whole new list of targets for 2007.

way to go Broken hearted :j
I did wonder how you were going, as I hadnt seen much change in the sig. I think this is a massive achievement, and getting those vultures from circling you in 2007 is achievement itself and all set for a happy new year :beer:
Keep on keeping on as they say:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -
Absolutely agree with everyone else......give yourself a big pat on the back for an excellent effort. Think of all the positives - especially how much faster your debt will go down next year as you have more money to throw at what's left.
Here's to an excellent new year!!
:T :T0 -
I can only echo what the others have said, well done to you.0
