  • 197 days until debt free date - current debt £4575 - £23.22 per day


    Must get round to putting some stuff on ebay!! Never did much overtime last month, so won't be getting a lot cleared next month from my wage. Will need to sell stuff to make overpayments or properly cut back on food shops... This is something that I actually just can not master!!

    Still have never received the cheque for the mobile phone I recycled!! Thats been weeks and they claim to have a 48hour turn around time!!

    34.11% paid off
    Have been reading other threads on here about paying 1 percent of your debt at a time. For me this is 69pounds, not sure if seeing it going down by 1 percent is a motivator for me. I like to just randomly work out the percentage when I feel I have made some good payments. May try to aim for 1% tho..

    My 50% half way mark is £3472, so another £1075 to reach this!!

    Would like to be at this point by the end of July 2013...


    Anyway, must be going, feel this post is becoming a bit 'debt-obsessive' hahaha

    Hahaha thankyou!

    Hope I manage to hit all my goals too. Just can't wait to be debt free and start saving for a nice house, more debt... But think that would be a good debt.

    Haven't made any more payments the last fews days, but havent spent anything either.. Still hoping to pay more by next pay day on 28th to reach my target of £4500.


    On a happier note, I have been acepted back to university, only part-time, so no more student debt, but also wont be able to take as much overtime at work, so really need to pay off as much as possible in the next few months!!

  • 34.5% paid off...

    More tidying out the house today, then seriously need to get stuff listed on e-bay. Just cant find the motivation to do it. I guess every 99p counts, so I just need to get on with it haha.

    Might set myself a monthly e-bay earning target, then once I am at that, just wait until the following month..

    Still £45 to get to my target for this month, so need to get doing something.

    Loving that my debt is £4545, like rounded sequences....CRAZY!!
