You're wrong, Bang!

It's not much but it's due to this site so my contribution is £653! I've also saved the expense of potential debt from continual overspending but that can't be quantified!
Grand total £243,785.44

Well done to everyone else who's paid off so much! :beer:0 -

After completing my maternity leave in January 2006, we consolidated our debts in June onto a 0% card and finished paying them off 1st December. I also finished paying off Cahoot loan yesterday and we are officially debt free (bar the mortgage) to start 2007!
Total debt paid off this year £7800 :T
(Started maternity leave again this December :rolleyes:;) and determined not to get into any debt this time round).
Edit: Sorry total is now: £269,585.44"One day I realised that when you are lying in your grave, it's no good saying, "I was too shy, too frightened."
Because by then you've blown your chances. That's it."0 -
