Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2013

Kerri I asked my housemates about crafty places in Cardiff, they said to try the Cardiff Chapter Centre? It's a drama place, but they reckon it also runs some craft classes too.
Today my work has made a start on a social club to try to help us out of towners (it's 18 months on, and I still think of myself as new to the area!), which is really nice. I hope it's going to make things a lot easier for the next few months.
I'm going to have to make an effort to take on some proper exercise for the next few weeks - I've been banned from swimming!0 -
So I guess I better add my credit card bill to my total. :P That makes me currently at #135 £300/£1195 darnit.DF by Xmas 2013 #135: £833/£1195 (69.7%)0

Hiya Ready, I've got a target of £5342 for you, I probably just made it up after a glass of wine so just wanted to checkAlso I think you've got the percentage correct but we declare the amount paid off so yours would be £119.96. Well done, fabulous payment
Thanks Spag. I think that was taken from my total, I was working on my subtotal. The extra is car finance, but a regular payment of £107 PCM pays that off next yearI don't mind counting it in too, it's all debt I guess. In hindsight why didn't I consider it in the first place.
Will have a rethink and get back to you:rotfl:

OH and I have both won the lotto!
We got 2 numbers and 1 star on each ticket hahaha. If only it had been 4 numbers and 2 stars on one ticket!0 -
hey folks
finally just caught up on all the threads and congrats to the debt busters out there who are now debt free.
finally pay day arrived today and i managed to pay £1015 to my debt and also put £500 into the emergency fund just to have something to fall back on if needs be and its a good feeling to finally kick start paying off my debt although next month wont be as good a payment as im leaving my job for pastures new and ive got to pay them back for courses etc so that will be a tidy sum off my final salary.
so as of today ive paid £1325 in total which is 6.97% only £17675 to go hahaMissy83
