Free listing on ebay this weekend if you use your mobile to do it. Might be taking advantage of that...

Hi All,
Redundancy pay came through so have made some big payments. Won't make an more until next month to give me chance to figure out how much we need to live off. So my June totals will be
Reduced debt by £8151 in June so...
Total debt reduced by £10562.07/£5000 target
Now owe just £437.93/£11000!
Aside from the redundancy pay this forum has really helped me focus on reducing the debts and my monthly amounts have been much better than I hoped. Will see how things go but may change my totals to include mortgage once other debts are gone and see if I can start overpaying on that if I am able...
Thanks everyone!

Well done Fastdeb! Let me know if you want to change your targets.not over halfway but im 100% up on this time last year as i couldnt even pay the interest on my loan then so im happy that this year its going down not up
That's a great result lynnsey!seasideDreamer wrote: »I just hope its gone by then Jwil...I thought the same 2 years ago but then work cut our money and things got worse. Fingers crossed the economy is getting better:)

A year isn't huge in the grand scheme of things, so hope you enjoy your holidays! It also gives you an incentive to try and clear a bit more beforehand."Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

Thanks for the updates everyone. I've paid £13 today"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0

Happy Monday all!!
Im fortunately going away for about 3 weeks soon and will not be PADing whilst Im away,its going to make my DFD later but we really need a break so will still be PADing when Im in the UK but wont when Im not here.
Now Ive got here I think I need to balance life v debt paying, I think it will probably make a difference to my DFD of about a month so not too bad in the scheme of things!!
Good luck all and well done FastDeb!!0
