  • Hey guys, I was off at 10.22 yesterday and so i have one minute left before I am over my time challenge today, arrrrgh! Spent all my time catching up but now have no time left to post to everyone. I will do it tomorrow methinks. I guess its ok cuz i need to pay off some more debt anyway, except I'm running out of money to do it with. I have paid a couple've bills but need to work out interest before i deduct them. Love you all *waves* :wave: I will be on in the morning. Have fun with ur OH Kerri and mf0u I'm sorry you have had a crazy or bad day, tell us all about it tomorrow.
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    Thanks Suzitiger, I'll explain tomorrow as I was supposed to put this laptop down by 10pm but I was paid today so have only just got chance to go through all my accounts today and tot up how much I can pay off my debts (got my xmas bonus which is why it's so high)!

    I'm soooooo pleased that my total paid is now a whopping
    :j:j:j £2,045.85 / £16,386.45 (12.49%) :j:j:j
    I'm soooooooo happy!!!! And it will get better as I go on through the month as my DD's for my loans and CC's still have to come out too so should be able to increase this by another £500 before this christmas hopefully! I'm really pulling out all the stops and trying to make do every day rather than live a champagne lifestyle with beer money...
    Certainly makes today finish on a less carppy note...
    Good night all and keep up the good debt busting guys!

    Hi all

    Yeah 1st Dec :xmastree: has arrived and I get to kick off my challenges with my first repayments.


    Progress so far £425/£5,608.30 (7.5%) no 97:T
  • I think I've really had my LBM this time and it's all thanks to this thread! I've known for years that I should be using my savings to pay my debt but I've always been to scared to let go "just in case I need it" (that goes for possessions as well as money,which I'll be working on next)! So today I have taken all the money out of my savings account and chucked it at a credit card. Please can you update my total to £1839.12/£10369:j
