Hi everyone!!

Payday for us on Friday :j Hoping to put a significant amount away for Debt 2 (less than 30 days til the deadline now!)

However, the car needs to visit the garage on Saturday. I dont think the battery is holding its charge. Every morning we have to jumpstart it So will see what that costs us!

The vet on Tuesday was £38.50 and we've come away with anitbiotics for the dogs skin infection. This money came out of Debt 2b fund

BUT on the upside im getting £58 from cashing in my brothers iphone, which i bought for £10 so £48 up there, should have the money in my account next week. Hopefully when i tell him he will see that the quick money option (£10 off me) isnt really worth it when he could have waited 2 weeks longer and reaped £58 instead, i did try to tell him before i bought it that he should cash it in himself but he said he couldnt be bothered!

Will sort out %'s on Friday/Saturday but estimating we will have about 85% which will mean a further £800 to find in February. Hopefully we can put a bit more in to the pot but ive estimated. My friend still owes me £60 too which she has told me she will pay all of it by our deadline of March 1st.

Hi All,

Hope everyone is doing well.

Pay day was a few days ago and I've made a few sales on eBay (though I'm not 'banking' the money from PayPal until I receive good feedback!) so my new total is:

Member #198 £5,617/£8,731.92 (64.32%)

Just another £737.68 and I've paid £30,000 towards my debts since January 2011! :money:

Hope you all have a great day

Hiya Ive just found this thread and would like to pay off my £3407.92 on my Barclaycard by Christmmas please.
Breaking it down into 100 £34.07's makes it seem SO much more manageable and I am actually inspired to get rid now!
I am going to go and pay off 7.92 right now, taking it down to £3400- nice and round so my 1% are £34.

I am ON A MISSION! Im excited that I just had a £37 refund from the solicitor and sold a highchair for £30 on FB. Thats almost my first 2%

Free listing this weekend everyone!

Decent sales over the last couple of weeks has enabled me to overpay on my loan to get to 7% paid off from that debt - nice one!

2% added today :j Total now 30%

1% from the kids Christmas money (agreed by them, don't worry)
1% from savings made on my groceries & petrol budget.

Going to try for 2% per month this year which will take me to over 50% by the end of the year. The following are my ideas so far to make those %'s this year (just in case it gives anyone else some ideas):

Selling the flash from my camera (2%)
Car boot sale (1 or 2%)
Cashback (1%)
Cashback for switching current accounts (1%)
Birthday monies (1-5%)
Ebay (1%)
Current account interest if I switch (1%)
Savings account interest if I swich (1%)

That's it for now....

Have today paid £25.00 off our mortgage. I know I'm only making small payments towards this at the moment but we had our mortgage statement through the other day and our mortgage now stands at just under £100,000.00. Was really pleased with this as in the 9 1/2 years we've lived here our mortgage has never been under £100,000.00. Am hoping it will stand us in good stead when we look to move in a couple of years time.

We are doing our budget later and hoping to have a fair bit to put to the debt.

Got £60 coming this month from a friend, £58 for cashing in a phone, a further £142.50 cashing in another phone and an iPad 1 :j and hopefully a few more sales along the way.

Got my daughters 5th birthday this month so still need to order cake, her main present and pay for her party :eek:
