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 XX2012 The year I started dealing with my debts.

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 happenwe'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-heartenedAll 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:)DEBT FREE AND PROUD'Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt'0 -

£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!
