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

mf0u1098

Hi Everyone,

I've decided to do my updating on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays this includes adding new members. I appreciate all your suggestions about making this easier for me but I think that this will be the best way as I read every post anyway and I don't want anything to interrupt the flow of this thread and also put people off posting their totals on here because of worrying that it will create more work for me. I am honoured to be supporting you all (as you are supporting me) through this debt free journey and this is fundamental to this thread. I love that people are so enthusiastic about paying their debts off that they want to post everyday and I don't want to stop that in any way. Updating every 2 days will mean that I get to read all your lovely posts and join in more but also there won't be too many pages for me to update.

I cannot believe that this thread is less than two months old, we are on Part 2, have paid over £100k worth of debt, have nearly 300 members and it just continues to grow. A big THANK YOU to all who post on here, you are truly an inspiration.

Right, enough mushy stuff *sniff sniff*, I need to put the kettle on for a lemsip then finish updating xxx

p.s. well done everyone on your weightloss, only scored a meesly 0.8lb but I find it interesting on myfitnesspal the trend during the week, my calorie intake steadily rises until the weekend blows it completely out of the water! Will be interesting doing this weeks challenge to see if I can find out what my triggers for overeating are... Thanks Kerri for another brilliant idea xxx

My spreadsheets do have daily shopping, Last Years christmas presents, This years christmas presents, monthly DD's/SO's and one for lilys birthday, one for ebay sales . . . . im beginning to think I have a problem :rotfl:

Eh up everybody, long time no post!

I've been absolutely pants with money this month - already seems like forever since payday and the next one is just far too far away I've been avoiding coming on the forum because I've been spending which is ridiculous as it just makes me spend more!! :mad:

I've spent today (off work cos of yet more mammoth overtime!) catching up with all the posts and feel so much more dedicated to the cause right now! :rotfl: Which is a bit of a shame as I'm totally skint, but I haven't racked up a penny more of debt so that's something!

I listed half a dozen things on ebay yesterday - all have watchers and one has a bid so far (woohoo!!), so fingers crossed that they all sell, the buyers all pay up sharpish and that money should easily see me through to payday (hopefully!) :T

I've been keeping a spending diary since the start of the year (9 days then...) and it's crazy how much I have spent on junk - I've spent £29.63 since the first on takeaways/junk from the vending machines and food for at work instead of taking something with me :eek::eek::eek:

Because I've done all this overtime lately and I should *hopefully* be able to clear my debts this month I'm feeling like I deserve to "treat" myself - but I don't actually have any spare cash to do so until I get paid Bloody ridiculous!! Anyway, along with all that spending on JUNK I've managed to put two pounds on which is NOT GOOD - can I start small and sign up to lost 11 pounds - that takes me down to the next stone marker (not saying which one though!!:rotfl:)

jakes-mum I've got a diary on here somewhere too - I think mine last got updated around June time last year?!

I also realised today that the super duper spreadsheet I made for all my budgeting actually missed off two bills a month that I pay, so an extra £30 would have been vanishing without me knowing where it was going. Honestly, will I EVER get my money situation sorted out???
