Important Notice

To help me run this thread easily, could you please all post your totals in large text and in a bold colour, i.e.:

£265.43/£7685.67
(where the first amount is the total you have paid off so far in this challenge and the second amount is the total you pledged to clear by Xmas 2012.

It would also be a big help if you could also put with it your number from the 2nd post.

i.e. another £50 paid off so now the total for
#001 is £315.43/£7685.67

Hi all, I haven't been on much this week as I've been working extra hours. Have managed to make an extra £370 in work this week which will be going towards debt in my January pay :T Ruddy knackered now though!

Have been pretty good the last few days spending wise...works Christmas party only cost me £13 for the entire night (including the morning after the night before breakfast), and tonight I've saved the money I would have spent going to London to watch the X Factor final and watched from the comfort of my sofa. :money:

Jakes-Mum could you PM me the swag details please? Thanks

I still need to start my Christmas shopping...one day I'll be one of these organised by the 1st December types lol

welcome claresy and dolly rocker, mf0u will assign you a number soon.

This weeks mini-challenge is to put back one item from your shopping basket.

How is everyone doing with that by the way? It's really making me double-check the want/need scope

Morning all,

Had my shopping delivered yesterday evening. Asda had managed this weeks mini challenge all by themselves for me as one of the items I ordered was not available (which of course would happen to be my special treat to myself) so I have paid £1.00 to my CC which was the cost of the item.

Sat down last night and worked out all our finances. I have wanted to go to university for a long time and I always said once my youngest son was settled into school (he has Autism and learning difficulties) I would go. He does seem settled so I am deciding whether to bite the bullet and go. It would give me the extra incentive but I would want a lot of my debt shifted by September which would mean a hard slog. I am going to give myself til March to really go as hard as I can with my repayments and then make a decision then.

Hope everyone will enjoy their Sunday. Only two weeks til Christmas :xmassmile

My total is now £41.66/£7873.87 #130
