    Oh dear Kerri I wonder what's causing it! Hope they get it sorted without too much disruption to you... It's weird that there's been a 2 month gap between though - upstairs don't have a hole in their bath do they?

    Need to correct my earlier comment- it was B-clays, not B-card. Well it was 7am...

    Logged into online banking to find my overdraft limit is still the same, but I reduced it in branch on Saturday. I'm going to have to go in this weekend, but will just take away the entire overdraft facility, and be done with it - I have the money put aside in a savings account anyway.

    I have absorbed the car repair costs so debt total:

    #338 £2571/3486 = 73.75%

    I think this is only £50 more from my last update, but I just noticed I now owe less that £1k!

    Woo hoo well done :T

    Hey everyone, I've just got back from working away for the week! I am absolutely shattered, it has been a hell of a week... I am just popping on to say that I've not forgotten you all, I'm having a beer tonight to relax and will be back on to catch up tomorrow.

    I hope you're all doing well and are nearly ready for Xmas! xxx

  • I think this is only £50 more from my last update, but I just noticed I now owe less that £1k!

    That's great! :j I'm so hoping I can get under £1k after December payday (20th). This last bit seems to be taking forever. Mind you if it wasn't for Christmas I could have paid off a nice big chunk. I feel I'm wishing my life away waiting for each payday. JUST WANT TO BE FREE OF THIS DEBT!!!!!!

    Arrgghh the balance transfer money still isn't in our account!! It is registering on the CC website though so perhaps Monday:j

    Are we all having a final percentage declaration? Will that be Christmas Eve or day?

    I'll declare on Christmas eve. Won't be great! What are we going to do after that? I want this thread to continue for those of us who haven't quite made it. Would feel odd joining a different thread now! We could just keep this one going?

    Well done recurrent ostrich and piggy bank :j

    I think there are plans for a "pay off by Xmas 2013" for those of us with bits left to pay off, not sure if Jemma is going to organise it though, perhaps I will if Jemma doesn't want to:)

    Just spent £247 in Mr T's and now need to go and lie in a darkened room :eek: Apart from bread, milk and some veggies this should take us through to the end of December and that included gifts and booze but even so :eek::eek::eek:

    I have sold £47 on ebay though :j and just banked £100 cheque from my lovely Grandma which will go on a couple of small gifts for £5 each on the kids then the rest saved for Holiday money in June :T
