Hi
I would like to join this challenge please. I have 5 debts I want to pay off. The first one being my overdraft. I will empty my purse of silver and coopers once a week and put that into the bank.
DFFRBS £2,043.50 @0% until April 2014
Virgin £2,522.78 @ 0% until November 2015
Total Debt £4,566.28
SPC 7 315. Emergency Fund 300/1000.0 -
I've not had anything spare this week (3 days till payday!), but I have put a couple of things on ebay to sell so hopefully there'll be a nice payment next week.
Even though I've not been able to make any additional payments this week, the challenge has kept me focused and I haven't wasted any money either. :-)Debt Free Date: November 20170 -
Last thing yesterday I decided to get a couple of lines on the lottery, I got 3 numbers on both :T:T soooooooo the £20.00 will go in my overpayment (this is for my sons photographer at the wedding that I promised to pay for them in a moment of madness :rotfl:)
Debts will have to wait for overpayments until that is done and dusted - Majority is on 0% until Septembe 2013 so not toooo bad
So I am off to update my signature, happy Sunday everybody

A modest £3.35 this week. Feeling the pinch near payday.
Will be interesting to see what I can do next week after the coffers fill up again and, fingers crossed a couple of items sell on ebay.
