The "Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2012" challenge - PART 2!!!

welshone27

I've added all mine up, and the total we owe is £7288.55. I've done a spread sheet of income and what we can pay off a month, and it should leave us with only £332.55 to pay next Jan (ofcourse I'll try my best to pay this off in december. Im feeling very possitive.

Thanks HelenPie, they took payment last night so I guess they have better things to do like growing veg than doing their accounts. Their veg is lush though so I'm not knocking them. I'm definitely going to try the freezing on trays then putting into bags, but now what do I do with my frozen blocks of beans hmmm....

Just had confirmation that I'll start new job on the 13th Feb, so on Friday I'll give notice for this place. Just hoping it's close enough to payday to still be given my bonus for last year *fingers crossed* as this will really help me if I don't get paid by new job in Feb. Although from working their before I know that they sometimes put through a second pay just after the 1st so fingers crossed it won't interfere with paying rent.

Just checked account and I can afford to pay another £10 from Freemans. I could probably pay £30 but I want to keep £20 back as emergency money. I've got £18 in my purse from last week, so don't need to take out any purse money this week

#005 £1220/£5030

Keep going everyone!

And thanks to Jemma for sorting all of this out. Remember when you first had this idea nearly two months ago Jem? I think you came up with it on your diary didn't you? Seem like an age away now!

Hi - can I join this thread please - I hope I'm not too late? I've only just begun to sort out my debts so my figure is approximate for now until this month's Visa bill comes in (I know I should know what I've spent on it but I don't ). My approximate debt is £4,000 which is credit cards and overdraft - I'm not including car loan as it finishes in April - then I can use this monthly amount to pay off credit cards, or holiday loan (finishes December) or mortgage as they are "controlled debts". For me my debt problem is with credit cards and general expenditure. Hope this OK?

Welcome aboard Mrs Addicted to Spending, that's a fine introduction and we look forward to sharing the journey with you

Still having a nightmare with CK fabric, courier says delivered... guess what... no deliveries today! ARGH should have saved my £21. But they are refunding the full postage.

Hello all!
My MSE forum pages are all skew-whiffy today, so I hope this posts. The banners at the top are just a long list of links and I can't change colour, add icons or thank people for their posts :-(No debt busting to announce still, unlikely to be any til payday on the 20th. However, this morning was our first weigh-in and I've lost 6lbs this week, probably mostly what I put on over Christmas really. Have been trying to convince DH to get back on fleabay, he used to be addicted to selling on it then lost his momentum. Now, he usually just puts things in the charity bin at work. Keep debtbusting xxx

I only ever go through my subscribed threads unless I decided I need more diaries to read and want to have a quick browse of the grabbits so I hadn't noticed. Are the other challenges located on the diaries?

The £10 a day one I also do has moved to diaries as well.
