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

fritterprincess

Merry Christmas all!
Sorry, haven't posted for ages but have been lurking from time to time.
I haven't really had the spare cash to pay off debts recently, and as usual Xmas has cost me a lot more than I originally planned or hoped for!
So my last figure for the year is -£7000/8500 (82.3%)


I'm really pleased that I have managed to pay off seven grand this year, I know if I had been a little more strict I might have paid it all off, but should manage to clear it in a couple of months.
A big Thankyou to you Jemma for all your hard work and encouragement over the last year, and to all my fellow debt busters- well done and keep up the hard work!
I'd love to carry on with the forum if that's ok, and thanks to spagbol for agreeing to take it on.
I hope you all have a lovely Christmas, and a prosperous 2013!! Xxx

Hi all

My Final figure was - Number #97- £6120/£8030 (76%). I am obviously over the moon and thanks again for this challenge. I will tackle the rest in 2013:D.

Happy Xmas and New Year

Ok - sorry to be random - has anyone tried soaking a turkey in brine before?

SpagBol

Nctmum: Yes ours is as we speak. It really does work, especially with a frozen turkey. DH does it from the Nigell@ Feast book.

Well done everyone declaring, some really good totals!!

I need to clean my entire house today, make the cherry cola ham and then entertain my ma today, will try and start a thread too! :T

Here is the new thread! https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/58127823#Comment_58127823

I will update the first few pages throughout the day but REALLY need to start some house work :rotfl: and my son is looking at me very beadily as he wants to go on club 9enguin!

Let me know if I've made any glaring clangers or spelling errors please!

Jemma or myself will get this thread locked once we migrate to the other one so don't be alarmed if you can't post here...just head over to the new one!

Ok, my final total for 2012 is more than it should be, but I'm getting ready to get back on it after Christmas! Am slowly persuading Mr S to also listen to me when I say we can't afford things in order to do other things!

So, reporting for DFBX12 one last time and signing up for DBFX13 (new or old number don't mind):

#068 4629.07/6492.82 (71.3%)

Starting figure for DFBX13 = £1863.75


Merry Christmas to all of you! Everyone has done some fantastic work paying off debt. Thanks Jemma for running the thread and I hope you feel better very soon.

Don't worry, it's really simple actually! You literally highlight the cells you want to copy in then press Ctrl C then go to your post and press Ctrl V in the thread. Hey presto! I'm on my phone at the mo, but will send the spreadsheet when I'm on my laptop later tonight xxx

Do I need the spreadsheet to put the names & numbers on the first page or can I do that manually then update with the spreadsheet?

Final Totals for 2012 below! Would be a bit better as have December money in the bank but won't pay to CC until the new year as a lot of my January Direct Debits change in value (boo - all renewals at the same time ) so want to wait to check I have them all correct on 1st Jan before paying remaining cash to debts

so, for the final time in 2012:

#077: £6,959.40/£16,660.26, 41.77%

Still aiming for Easter to be Debt Free, shame it won't be by my 30th birthday but at least it will be in my 30th year :cool:

Jemma Thank you so so much for starting and running this thread. You've made such a difference for me :beer:

Off to check out our shiny new thread!!

For the final time this year:

£6839/13678

I think that makes 50% :j:j:beer::beer:

Hope you all have an excellent few days and a lovely new year.
I only owe just under 7k now.

Jemma without you coming up with the idea in your diary last year I and so many others would not have had the motivation to pay off as much as we have. So a BIG THANK YOU!!!
