  • Hi All,

    Please can I join this thread?

    Need a bit of an incentive, I haven't got a hugh amount of debt compared to some and if I put my mind to it I should be able to clear it by end of 2012.

    Total debt to clear - £4,731 on salary of £15k (need a new job lol)

    Comprising of:
    Loan - £2,431 (pay £221 monthly, ends Dec 12)
    Parents Loan - £1,500 (no rush but would like to pay back)
    O/D - End up in every month by £700/£800.

    Am off to look at up your income to see how I can raise some extra funds!

    EH x
  • Have just paid off a small chunk of my Lowell account so for total for me is now #219 450/4150 feels good seeing it go down, let's hope it doesn't go back up after the insurance company have assessed the car!

    I bagged my 20p coins and am going to pay them into my savings account tomorrow (far too windy to venture up there today lol) so to offset this I paid the same amount off my cc.

    #135 is 213.02/1786.19 (12 %)

    (I know Jemma that you said you would do the % but I'm a linguist by nature and maths is not my strong point so it's a good exercise for me :D)

    My sympathies, it's hard when that happens. My hubby is a copper and works shifts, I'm a nurse and sometimes work shifts and my kids have lots of afterschool activities, so it's like that a lot here too, but I've learnt now to make stuff like shepherds pie when it's one of those days, as it can be plated up, stuck in the fridge and then microwaved when people turn up, starved. :rotfl:The only stuff that doesn't really microwave well are chips! But as I'm on a diet, they aren't getting chips anyway!

    Here too! DH has varied hours and is sometimes out late. My eldest does Scouts and Swimming, my 7 year old does gymnastics and rainbows, my 5 year old goes to an out of school club for children with disabilities and my youngest has ballet on Saturdays. Its hectic :rotfl:
    Pay off all my debts before Christmas 2015 #165.

    I would like to clear my overdraft so...

    Total debt to clear = £1300

    It's going to be tough, especially since me and my partner are on a very low income and have a baby due in april, but I'm determined to clear my overdraft! :)
  • Hi. please can I join? Just added up all of my debt and it is a shocking £11331.10!!
