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 check
Also 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 year
I 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

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

Good luck. The money soon mounts up. I have paid an extra £1000 off of my credit card since the middle of January from ebay sales
