    Positive thinking all the way!

    Just thought i would do some calculating of how much i have paid off my debts this year and was delighted to find out its £1464.49 since Jan 2012 - still a long way to go but averaging almost £500 a month off debts is really good news for me :j:j:j

    That's a great result fairyclicks, well done :T

    so i have booked my much wanted holiday to peru :j decided to go this year as the tours were on bogof so me and my friend saved £950 each and we both really wanted to go. so very happy about that but unfortunately it has added £1963.82 to my debt total (on 0% card) :o

    played with spreadsheet and it looks like i will pay the last payment in jan 2013. so i will try and bring it forward to clear in dec. not sure if i can make it but will need to give it a good go and must ensure i do not increase debt anymore! :naughty:

    so please can i up my total to pay this year to £5019.82?

    paid off £55 to mum yest and £25 to cc on friday so new total-

    member 7- £959 / £5019.82
    Ooh, I'd love to go to Peru, hope you have a great time.
    I'll update your total now. :)

    Right, finally managed to list a few things on Ebay with their free listing day so feeling good about that. Don't think I've got any more payments coming before the end of March though. Feels like we've had a bit of a quiet month this month - maybe some more updating due in the next couple of days?
