    Bloody hell this year is going quick! :undecided

    Doesn't feel like I've gotten anywhere either which is crap coz I've paid off £4,560.92

    So much for the pipe dream of becoming debt free this year! It won't even be next year at this rate! :(


    So I think the new challenge is to pay off all credit card debt before the end of the year! Again probably unlikely but not impossible.

    It's currently £5,973.37

    This means I'm gonna have to be paying back about £1,400 a month including my loan so I need to find an extra £400 a month from somewhere. I reckon I could do £200 a month from matched betting so that leaves £200 to pull out of my @rse! :p

    If I manage that then I will start 2008 with only my loan of about £10,000

    If I can carry on paying £1,400 a month then I'll be debt free July 2008. A year from now!

    Watch this space. :)

    Well, if you plan and figure out what you need to do, like you did, you'll be fine. Have faith! :p

    The problem is I'm pushing myself further than might be possible. Again!
