  • Just counting down to payday on Friday, not much left in the account but enough to see us through.

    Sold another couple of items on eBay last night so £22.52 paid off the credit card :D

    Have swagged another £5 Amazon card for the Christmas pot - need to get back on track with 1poll tho.

    Fab diary. Subscribing :)

    Thanks MrsSave - good to have you on board. Looks like you're making fab progress :j
  • So finally payday and time for the scores on the door....

    Cc1 was £2600 now £2520 = £80
    Cc2 was £484.63 now £48.81 = £435.82
    Cc3 was £790 now £770 = £20
    Od was £696.37 now £671.11 = £25.26

    Total was £4571 now £4009.92 total paid off = £561.08 :j

    Not to bad at all even if I do say so myself lol!

    Will pay the remains of cc2 off in a minute, then the next one is the big one! Need to double check my spread sheet but I think I'd given myself until the end of feb to do this.

    Fantastic B0d3n sent me another £10 gift voucher so another christmas pressie sorted. Not sure what I've done to deserve them (this is the 3rd!) but I'm not complaining!
  • All moving in the right direction :D
  • Card 2 is gone :j made the final payment and it is officially paid off :j

    Focus now is on card 1. Made £102.97 payment yesterday and the plan is to keep chipping away throughout the month.

    Food shopping yesterday - spent far too much but should only need fresh bits for the rest of the month.

    Couple of items finishing on eBay later - not many bids but lots of watchers, so I guess there's still plenty of time.....

    Great result! CC1 will be quaking at the knees :rotfl:
    0% card was £1126.91 / Now £1502.37

    AFD March 2/15 NSD March 2/11 :T

    Other debts paid since 1/1/14: £17,005
  • lol I'm not sure about quaking at his knees mfm but I will catch up with him eventually!

    Ebay item sold last night so another £20.65 paid off cc1. Running out of stuff to ebay - I can feel another sort out coming on!
  • Gonna be a very tight month :mad: OH car going in for MOT and service, so going to have to do a lot of ebaying to try and make a dent in the debt.

    Had a small TCB payout and an ebay sale which I've sent straight across to cc1. Will have a sort out and pop some more stuff on eBay on Sunday.

    Have a good weekend :)
  • Absolutely nothing to report! Still waiting for OH car to go into the garage - it's now thrown another warning light, so chances of any further over payments are getting slimmer and slimmer. Stuck in limbo really until he gets this sorted.

    Have got a few bits to get on ebay later, Sunday night always seems like a good time for the auctions to end so will get piccies taken and upload them later.
