Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2013
Comments

Right, I've decided I want to pay off 10% each month minimum. Although I would like the debt gone in 6 months if possible...but I have interest to contest with and cannot afford to pay off the entire card each month and then use that as payment as that's how I got in the doo-doo in the first place...hmmm so that would mean I have to pay...errr...£220.70 each month.
Hmm that's fairly doable I think, although what is that if I then take into account they are charging me £100 in interesst!!!!!Diary: Getting back on track for 2013 and beyondDEBT FREE 13-10-13 :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

What a day! Missed a training session this afternoon when the boiler at work overheated/blew up, and the fire alarm went off. Had to wait 1hr in -2 while the fire brigade attended, then there was no heating/hot water for the rest of the afternoon, then the network went down. I had no work printed off though, because the printers broke down too.
I've decided to buy a dehumidifier and take the money from my debt totals. It won't affect my debt free day, so I've no excuse to not put my health up there a bit. Only 2 weeks to pay day! Although I'm sure that must be wrong, and all calendars in the world have simultaneously slipped behind...0 -

I hate you all with your 1 week until payday. I have to wait a fortnight until I get paid!!!
Although, I hate you less as OH and I get paid each week from our joint account (personal money spends each week) so PayDay now means paying the rent & council tax day hahaha!
Right so 10% plus interest is about £300 a month I have to pay off...I think I need a snowball...*toddles off to that website*Diary: Getting back on track for 2013 and beyondDEBT FREE 13-10-13 :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:
