Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2013

kerri_dfw

Ok, I've just transferred £720 to my vanqu1s card from the BC at a rate of 6.9% + £20.88 fee. However, compared to the ridiculous interest rate I was paying, I'm happy with this. The VC is being buried somewhere and I'm going to call them to reduce the limit at each £500 marker, so if there's £500 left when the statement comes in I shall call and get them to reduce. I know all I've done is move money around, but it's costing me less.

may be going to the cinema on friday with our neighbours, who have become quite good friends:j then out for a pizza after. not very money saving but we all need something to look forward to!

as i have £300 left in the current account, i will bung it into the house savings when i've been paid which will make my house savings £500 this month :j

If you like going to the cinema you should look out for free cinema tickets on the thread on here. You get to see previews at fixed times, no adverts too which is great. We've seen about 10 this year x

Welcome. Spag Bol is the lady who [STRIKE]keeps is all in check[/STRIKE] runs this thread. She will give you your very own number too :T when you post an update it makes it easier if you can do it in bold, put your number, then how much you paid off out of how much you owe. For example if you owe £1000 and you pay off £100 it would look like this

#1 £100/£1000

Good luck on your DFW journey x

Congratulations Kerri! When are you due? I think you might just be about a week ahead of me but I don't have my scan date yet so we will see soon

So, update time:

£16,660.26/£16,660.26 100% paid!

Oooh, yes! that's right, today is my dfd :j:j

I want to say massive thank you to everyone here, particularly Jemma for starting this all off, and SpagBol for taking on the mantle this year. You've all been such a support :T
