wow well done ss, great inspiration to all of us just starting on the journey.
you must feel so proud of what you have acheived.total -nov07 [strike]£25,526[/strike] jan08 [strike]£23,246[/strike] May08 [STRIKE]£21,171[/STRIKE] June 08 £20,9640 -
Right, just paid another £300 off the Barclaycard. That leaves that balance at £200 but most importantly it will take me under the £12k barrier when it clears.
Also got the £21 minimum payment to come out later in the month to take me to £11,974.20
I'm really pleased how I've ended the year actually coz at the start of November I owed £14,653.26 so have paid off £2,679.06 in the last 2 months alone.
If I can continue that rate I'll be debt free by September. But I want it alot earlier than that! :rotfl:
Worked out I'm left with £331.13 for the month with all bills paid for. Got to fork out for probably another tank of petrol (£50), Christmas presents (maybe another £100), plus money for a social (£50 minimum I guess). Leaves me with about £130 which should do me seeing as I'm not doing nowt for New Year. Again! :rolleyes:0 -

Oh and thanks! :rotfl:I'm so sorry. I started a new job in September with THE most ridiculous amount of work ever, plus I've been studying for exams, looking after baby and selling the house.
Plus, if I'm honest, I got pretty down about posting on here because I never seemed to be making much headway. The only answer was to sell the house but that took so much longer than we expected- it has been a few months. I thought I'd better show my face again and update my diary...Debt at highest May 2006: £27,472.24
