The "Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2012" challenge - PART 3!!!

SpagBol

Well done for payments everyone. Choclover the credit is a good idea, I wasn't using credit but transferring a set amount to live on for food and petrol to a separate current account. It worked really well but this month it went wrong, I'm really cross! I now have £780 on my CC again!! I will pay half and half to this and DH's CC till it's gone so it has really set us back.

Right, 2 CC DDs set for the 11th but I'll declare them now...

#084 £9443 / £58000

An extra two payments today!
£24 to Littlewoods
£50 to BoS Credit Card

Also put a dress on eBay which I'm hoping will bring in a few £££££ and having a car boot sale next Saturday for spending money for my holiday.

Debt is coming down slowly but surely!

Hi all,

I'm a bit bored this weekend, loads of tidying type jobs to do but I really CBA. We saved a tenner yesterday as the piano teacher was a no show, but we spent that £10 on a taxi home on BH Monday.:o So all in all we are sticking to budget.
I have already paid all Junes bills and our joint account is actually in credit :D That hasn't happened for at least 2 years so I'm really happy. I have cash in my purse to pay for the next 2 weeks piano and riding lessons so there is no reason to draw out any more money until after pay day.

I've paid another £100 into my $ account for our holiday spends and our debt is now under £9500 :j:j
#306 7454.07/16779.81 44.42%
My kids are back at school on Monday, so I really ought to go and clean some shoes!

I hope you're all enjoying the weekend.

PS. I have got DH on board with the "cash budget".

He does all the food shopping on a Saturday - most is spent on the CC in the supermarket but he likes to use the local market for fruit & veg, which we use cash for. I gave him £40 on pay day which is £10 per week! He was told to keep it seperate & if he went over, he'd need to spend less the next week.:rotfl:

He's gone to the gym so I just had a peek in his wallet & 2 weeks in, theres £20 sitting in a seperate compartment :T:T

:S it's all starting to blur into one! I can't remember if I've paid anything off this week or whether it all came under last weeks...

Update (I think!):

#338 916/3486 = 26.28%

Well done Minicooper :T over a quarter of the way there :j :j

I have to say I feel absolutely rubbish today, think my body is giving up the ghost again and its really p***ing me off everytime I build up a reserve of energy something happens and im back to struggling out of this darned chair :mad: pack it in body, your like an old banger, back firing hunk of junk car, wish I could trade you in for a newer model :mad:

On a more cheery note, had to go to waitrose for some sausages for tea and they had Haagendaz on £2.96 :j :j The only icecream I can eat is the cookies and cream one so I bought 5 then drove by the petrol station on the way back and they were having a reduced fuel day so got half a tank on 131.9 (we dont live in a very cheap area )

Had some money in from tax credits that I wasnt expecting, not sure if its my new regular payment (which I didnt expect for another week!) or a one off extra payment so am waiting until the date I expected it to see IYSWIM. If it is an extra (oh please I hope it is!) I can make a nice payment to the CC and put a nice little chunk aside in the kids uniform fund :j :j
