    Morning Sista - Sorry to hear about your straighters, I know what you mean I could not leave the house without using mine :rotfl:

    You are doing so well - I bet you will make it to £4k by Christams - you are doing so very very well :j:j.

    How did your weekend go? Did you manage to finish your shopping?

    Anyway am still reading and stalking from afar - Keep up the good work! You are doing fab XX

  • :wave: Aamberle, no Christmas shopping done but did get the :xmastree:up :)
    Managed to get a pair of straighteners for £16 (bargain) and refrained from buying the £35 pair i really wanted :money:

    4K by Christmas would be so great but don't think it's going to happen :( we'll see if Santa brings me any ££ :T

    Hi Sista,

    Well done for resisting the £35 straighteners :T £16 does sound like a bargin.

    I'm with Amberle, I bet you won't be far of getting that 4K by Christmas.

  • Well another £40 off the card this month. Not making any large payments until Christmas is over with just in case the extra funds are needed.
    Debt now at £4955 so unlikely to get anywhere near the 4k mark by the end of December :(
    We're still chipping away though and won't become dis-heartened :) All our Christmas money we get is going towards it and every little helps :)

    Well the rush of Christmas is now over for another year thank god.
    We've managed to pay off an extra £500 as we're using our Christmas money for shopping. Still not close enough to the 4k mark though for me plus we've just realised the 0% ends on one of our cards in Jan (22nd).
    Luckily it's the one with the lower balance so i don't think we'll bother with another BT as we should get it paid off in 2 months.
    Didn't go into the overdraft at all and not added a penny to the debt which is :T
    Hubby needs a new car, his passenger footwell was under water :eek: His mum has offered 5k for a new car which makes me a little :mad: seeing as that would clear our debt!
    On the other hand he desperately needs a new car as his will not pass the MOT next yr.


    Debt now at £4450 so still slogging away <sigh>
    Hope everyone had a great (and :money: ) Christmas:)

  • £500 paid today :) getting there :)
    Only £700 odd still to go on the card where the 0% ends this month. Fingers crossed this should be cleared by the end of Feb. Then we can start making headway on the final CC!

    Debt now at £3878.
