    Hi all

    I'm up to £848/£2500 (34%) #25. I have my car insurance to pay next month so that will slow down the repayments but I'm a 1/3 of the way there:D

    Hello all!

    What are you all up to this weekend? We are having a sorty-outy day and hopefully a car boot sale tomorrow if it ever stops raining! There is an indoor one a few miles away so might try that if so and swerve the local outside one!

    #002 £919/ £45,000 2.04%

  • Had an annoying start to the morning!

    Had paid off £1,750 to one of my Halifax CC's which had reached the end of its 0% offer and reverted back to 18.9%.

    Except I called this morning to find that they hadn't made the payment towards that part of my overall balance, but instead to a lifetime of the balance offer which is around 6%. This was despite my ringing twice beforehand to make sure that I made the payment at the right time so that the payment came off of the right part of my balance. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I kept my calm though and explained my position and ended up with them switching the payment to the right part of my balance plus giving me £27 for the inconvenience and the cost of my phone call - hurrah!!!!

    Probably shouldn't celebrate until I see this on a statement, but have all the reference details should something go wrong.

    If nothing else, I will be so relived when all my debt is paid off so that I don't have to do all this money managing. Time is too precious to spend on the phone to the Halifax!

    Balance is under 14k - this is a very good thing :-). 12 days to go until I can hopefully make a 1k payment. Things will be fairly tight until then......

    Afternoon

    It's much easier listing from your phone isn't it Kerri :D

    My ebay stuff has started selling. 4 sold today but 2 were my Mum's! 1 has been paid for, so I have paid a total of £29.38 off of my credit card. £20 of that was a quidco payment.

    #11 - £3595.69/£10,224 = 35.17% :j

    I will be back when the other buyer pays. Loads more ending tomorrow too :D
