Well done to everybody on payments however big or small and even if it isn't happening for you at the moment. It's a long journey but as long as you are on the path, even if it's only the beginning that's most important and with all the MS friends along the way we will get there!DF by Christmas 2014 #78 £18,964.15/£15,000

The snow ball calculator sort of does this - there's a link in post 2 on the first page. If you enter debt amount, interest and monthly payments, it shows the projection of payments and interest. It doesn't give a total cost of debt though.32b3in2013 wrote: »I am going to Las Vegas. Never been before, so I am really looking forward to it.

Ooo lovely! When are you going? I'm currently saving to go too, but think it will be early next year before I have the cash together (although my OH will be putting his bonus towards it for us both, because I think he wants to go sooner!)
Betsie you are not having much luck at all just now! Hope your dog has a quick recovery ahead.
indebted warrior I love Giff Gaff, have been using them for a few years now. I'm not saving much on my old contract (£2.50/month), but I like the balance remaining notifications they send (so when you go over your 'contract' amount, you know about it - you don't risk a £100 phone bill :eek:)0 -

Well done everyone - February total was amazing.:beer:
Decided to part with my wages this morning and pay my bills. I won't be able to keep going at this pace though as I'll have to save up for my annual bills shortly, but I think that will start around April. Total paid now stands at:
#058: £4,622.51/ £12,600 (36.69%)
Been to FrmFds this morning to fill the freezer and cupboards, so only need fresh items for the month now. I've decided that we won't be going on any holidays this year and just go for day trips so that I don't get into any more debt.
Have a lovely Sunday everyone.:)Blitz that mortgage
