Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2013

kerri_dfw

Thanks everyone the last time I made an article of clothing was A-Level textiles. I seem to remember it didn't fit properly, so I'm crossing my fingers and toes that it's going to be better now I'm older. They never actually taught us to sew, and most stuff you can learn on youtube these days.

I have just got back from my parents place and found my 7 month old siamese is in heat! Leo, who is 1 this week, must think his birthday has come early as he keeps trying to "do" her. He's been neutered so his version of "doing her" is jumping on her back and biting her neck, none of the bum wiggling bits thank goodness. Eugh! More expense next week then and sleepless nights whilst she yowls this week

Hi everybody,

#24 12124.40 / 14300gbp = 84.79%

I've thrown every bit of spare money to the Bank of Mum and Dad this time, so the mortgage overpayment and the token savings account is going to have to wait.

The percentage is really starting to cause some excitement now :j, I think the way forward for me is to do the same next time too as I'm getting really impatient for this debt to be gone.

Just 2175.60gbp still to go :T

Made a payment of £55 to my credit card this week, would have been more but I may have been to Drayton Manor instead.

Another update from me

Member 147: £588/£3288 = 17.88% paid :j

Thanks to you all on this thread for your inspiration and support I am aiming to make an extra payment later in the month to get over the 20% or even 25% mark!

Hi all, can i join in please

i've been reading over the last few days, and what you have all achieved is absolutely fantastic :T WELL DONE TO ALL :T

I've had a few ups and downs over the past few years and finally getting close to being debt free. a snowball calculator says i will be debt free by x-mas 2014 but hoping you lovely inspirational people will help keep me on track and achieve it sooner.

spag bol- at the moment the grand total is approx. £5800 just waiting for last 2 statements to come in for this month (should be in the next week or so) to get an exact figure.

i paid off my halifax card last month and the feelings was fantastic, but i received a 12month 0% balance transfer offer last week so am going to take them up and transfer £1500 from my barclay card to them, apparently saving £454 in interest over the year

will be reading daily and posting when new statements arrive to inform of my total.

Good luck to all and looking forward to the day i stop wasting £400 a month lining someone elses pocket

You shouldn't have said that! Now we all know who to pester!

Can someone please block zoopla/right move on my laptop? Unless anyone can suggest a way I can double my income for the next few months :rotfl:

Thank you I'm now trying to convince my friends to start a weekly sewing group I used to go to one in London, and would love to do one in Cardiff
