In fact, I've changed my mind!

Gonna do one thing at a time, just so I can call that £6.41 [STRIKE]nearly[/STRIKE] my first 1%, lol. Especially as I have two bags of pennies sat here to go into the bank next time I'm in town, as that then def puts me over my first 1% :j

I certainly am!

I'm saving up monthly for Christmas for the first time EVER to make it easier and also saving up the same separately too - really pleased with how this is going and also planned my budgets for presents along with some ideas too

Ebaywise - no bids yet but a few watchers - all finish at the weekend

Just added up my figures and I have now paid off 7% or £1666.... oh - not sure I like that number I will make a £1 payment quickly!!!
Off to bed as doing an extra shift tomorrow to pay off a wee bit more (but via the fridge to colour in my numbers - cant wait to hit 10%!!!).
Night all - happy debt busting x

I am sort of thinking of Christmas already. Seems to be an all year round thing! Got my first two presents - 2 BN lego kits from the car boot sale, cost me £10 but worth about £30

Hoping to update with some %'s tomorrow as its the end of the month....

Hi all,

Even though I said I wouldn't be back because of the redundancy issue, I am!

We have moved house (perfect timing really with work!?! ) so I've been selling anything I can! So that means I've paid a bit more to my student loan. My total now is:

Member #198 £3,046.16/£15,505.08 (19.65%)

Am looking forward to getting to 20% and £20k of debt paid off!

Hope everyone else is doing great

liz-paul

Not much of an update but I am now at 20%!

Hi all number #76 here, sorry it's been over 2 weeks since I've last posted, had a very busy schedule lol. Since my last figures (43.30% for total debt, debt # 1 - 54.33% and debt #2 - 12.51%), I have been able to pay another 2.46% off my total debt :j:j making my new total.. 45.76% / 100%. Debt # 1 - wonga/argos/halifax - £3000.00
paid so far... £1771.31 = % = 59.04%/100%
and debt #2 -- cc £3200.00
paid so far = £460.01 = % = 14.37%/100%
Next month I shall hopefully be hitting 50% from my workings out which I am really excited about xx
