Ok I rounded up one of my debts but think it would be better if I give the actual amount which is £171.76 so 1% in fact will be £1.72 (rounded up). Annoyingly I just paid the odd in my account which was £1.71 so I have not even managed to pay 1% lmao still never mind its all money to debt and that's what counts :-)Debt free by xmas 2014 challenge #114 £230.35/£5840 Roadkill rebel Jan 2014 #79 £0.00 Extra payment a week 2014 £30.14 7/52 50p saver 2014 #?? £14.00 20p saver 2014 #41 £6.80 1% challenge #?? debt 1 1% debt 2 0% Make £50 a month Jan £75.00 Xmas fund 2014 £70.99 Loose change pot £15.45

Made a CC payment of £134 so the CC debt, debt 1, is now at 33% :j
Worked out roughly the minimum payments til the 0% ends May 2015, if we just pay the minimum we will owe £2700 by may so will have paid 58%. Just need to find a way to raise the extra once the car is paid for in October as that is our next priority after Debt 2b.
More planning from me lol

Hi All,
Hope you are well.
Well I have paid (well technically) a HUGE amount of money to my debts (take a look at my diary if you are interested) using my savings basically, so my fantastic (if I do say so myself) total now is:Member #198 £5027.18/£8731.92 (57.57%)
SO HAPPY!DEBT FREE SINCE 25.07.14!
Debt at Highest (November 2010) - circa £40k

That's great green saints.
I'm still on budget for groceries, hoping to be under by months endeverything else is touch and go as I've just bought a second hand pram for £50 (same as my current one which typically sell for £150 on eBay
) figured I'd sold £25 worth of clothes and I'm going to sell the buggy I don't like using so can probably get £20 for that. I think it's a valid purchase as it now means we can go on long walks as a family with dd2 in pram and ds who is 3 but can't walk that far
so thus bringing petrol costs down and getting family exercise :T
