Been looking at Holidays this afternoon - once I am DF I want to take the children to one of the First Choice Holiday Villages - I am hoping it will be a great motivator!

Superheavy

Okay, so payday rolls around once again, and I've got rid of the debt on the Halifax card. Before Christmas when the loan payment goes out I'll be down to four figures! Because my HSBC credit card is on a 0% i think it's time to start saving towards paying off the car loan next.

My new totals are:

#123 - 661 / 10762

Oooo I went to one in Lazarote in my 'money grows on credit cards' days, was fab (though not the debt that followed from it!)

Is it bad that im trying to get debt free before my 15yar savings plan matures just so I can keep all the money? :rotfl:

Was very happy today, I ran HSBC to ask what my interest rate was to make sure I had all my calculation right. I kindly asked if their was anyway of reducing the high rate of 25.97% and after 10 minutes on hold the nice man came back and said yes I can reduced it to 4.97% for 6 months :j I'm so happy as this will help me pay of that bit extra a month :j

Also forgot about some money owed to me from work so will get £120 back after christmas to pay off my debt

Their is also 2 SB codes out now to grab, I stayed up till 1am last night to get the extra 70sb, my £5 voucher s getting closer :-)
