Small Steps To Debt Freedom

Ali-OK

Really well done - you've got the ball rolling very nicely already and tackling from lots of angles. I'm of a similar age and want rid of mine by time I'm 50 too.

You're ahead of me with saving for Christmas next year, I had better get a move on!

I shall follow with interest and I've a paperwork mountain too, planning to tackle that (rugby style :rotfl:) over the Christmas break.

Hi ALM2013, Ali-OK :santa2:

Thank you both for visiting.

I was shocked when I realised the I have £20,000 worth of debt,feeling better that I have started dealing with my debt.

My small paperwork hill is now a little mound, good luck in sorting your Ali-OK.

I have sold three things on Amazon,:j:j more money to put towards debt and I have lists 9 more DVD's this morning.

Made a small payment of £3.87 towards my 1 debt v 100 day challenge.

Feeling positive today. Have a good day all.xx

Two of the DVD's I listed yesterday have sold over night:j:j,no chance to post today as i have to leave for work in half an hour,offered to do an extra shift today which is 28 miles away compered to my usual 1 mile journey to work.:(

Yesterday postage costs were £4.00,cheaper than I thought.Only other spend yesterday was on some mushrooms to go in the chicken stir-fry we had for dinner last night,all other ingredients we had,some left over for my lunch today.

Need to make a move. Have a lovely day all.xx

Great news on your DVD sales, those small bits really do make a difference to the debt coming down.

It's a pain with the mileage for extra work, I have the same problem if I work during school hols (taking DS to mums is round trip of 30 miles) but the extra money from working makes it worthwhile overall and more to throw at the debt.

Well done on all the paperwork, would you like to do mine?:rotfl:

Send the paperwork mountain over,no more sorting untill my shredder comes back from a needed holiday (overworked).:rotfl::rotfl:

Posted another two parcles yesterday £5.20, did a food shop with a gift card given to us by my mother. Thanks mam.

Applied for a balance transfer this morning, the 0% deal has ran out on C/C 2,fingers crossed I get it.

Not much else to report,have a good day all.xx

Been accepted for the 0% credit card :j:j with a limited large enought to balance transfer my other credit card so 0% for the next 29 months. :T

Found a cheque for £14.20 when I was sorting through my paperwork,it's now safely in my Building Society account,my first small steps to an emergancy fund.

Also closed an old credit card today and there was £22.00 credit on there that should be in my bank account tomorrow morning and will be paid towards my Next account.

Today has been a good day.xx

Excellent news, making some very good headway there.

Hope the shredder has recovered Mine is still in hibernation, oh how it will be put through it's paces in the coming days :rotfl:
