  • 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!

    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 :D 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 :o

    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 :) :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! :(
  • 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 haha

    Nothing to sell just yet but I may be able to save 80% of final total towards paying off DFS this month based on current sums :D

    Just had another ebayer pay for the item they won so I have made another payment off of my credit card.

    New total for #11 - £2707.23/£10,224 = 26.48% :j

    I will be back on Thursday evening to update after I have paid all my bills.
