    21 euro's and 45 cents!

    New money making idea, thats £17.83!

    Hang on, just flashed forward and had the customs conversation. Monthly trips to Amsterdam with Chocolates and coming back with nothing! Very very dodgy!

    Sod it.......I have paid another £56.94 out.

    I did this purposefully to get me under £12k (£11,999.99) which is for the first time in 7 years!!!

    Well done you!!! I try and do the same to bring my figures under a nice round figure.... even if it's just paying of a few pennies to see it under the pound, very satisfying!!

    Well, I'm a little happy because I realised that I've been paying away an extra £10 per month on one of my loans which will automatically pay off the total once it equals it (if that makes sense?)... so if you'll allow me I consider this to be debt being paid off - I can't use that money or get it back, it's purely there to pay off debt. So I've got a nice new figure...

    #063 907.96 / 17630.02 - 5.15%

    Yipppeeeeeeee..... a couple more DDs to come out too in a few days. Really satisfying seeing the figure going the right way, keep at it people :T

    Evening all, sorry I havent been on for a bit, having problems with DS's school which means he seems to be at home more than he is there. - havent been able to pay much off as we head towards payday (Monday) but I am still chipping away pound by pound

    My current total is £1434.29/£7873.87 #130 which means 18.28% paid off.
    Pay off all my debts before Christmas 2015 #165.
  • DorsetGirl are you sure your figures are correct, they don't seem to add up? :)

    Finished my tax return and because I bought a car for business I've made a mahoosive loss for my first year. But they're apparently going to give me a tidy sum as a rebate so I'll look forward to that for paying off my debts with :)

    It's funny, before November I would just pay the minimum balances and cary on buying pointless carp and buying things for other people. Now I won't spend a penny unless I can justify it.

    Just had two more payments through from fleabay including a payment from the bloke wanting my knickers, surprisingly there's no mention of the knickers, although the bras are addressed to a woman which has me most confused?!?!?! Anyway I've put it straight onto freemans so...

    Just in time for a final January payment :j Was checking figures on banking website and saw I'd got a refund on something I paid for on my Mastercard and I've lumped in another tenner so another £27.36 off my total. So update is:

    #309 £304.36 / £5554.36 (5.48%)

    I'm up over 5% now. Having to hang onto a bit of money as cancelled MOT and service is now rescheduled for this Friday so I'm hoping to catch up a bit in Feb :)
