    Mine won't be anywhere near my other months, but I'm expecting car insurance to take a massive chunk (have quotes of £350... but from a company I'm not 100% keen on, hoping Admiral will match!)

    Just redeemed another £30 from GlobalTestMarket, pretty sure I've got £120 (possibly £150) from them alone this year so as soon as that shows up it will go on my CC! CC should be gone by end of May at the very latest, hoping to get OD 1 done by July... then I can just chip away at the student one, which will be harder to keep track of that is my account for everything, so will probably just have to update what I have left at the end of every month! It will feel weird not transferring money out to my CC!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hi Bonglecat back again, I was part of the challenge for 2012 and then started 2013 but ran away when things started to go a bit wrong, sorry. Can I join again now please?

    Anyway, the debt on my signature is split into the M&S credit card which is mine and a joint loan which was to pay off DHs numerous credit cards, so I am only counting my debt which means my starting total is £2501.27. I am currently paying at the rate of £200 per month but I am hoping to make some lump sum reductions throughout the year by living frugally, fingers crossed.

  • Gosh don't I wish I had anything worth £170 to sell! I usually only get about 99p :rotfl:

    I certainly don't have much else! It was a collection of Disney Classics DVDs that I'd been collecting for a few years :o only 4 away from having the full set.. but since I never watch them (and most of them never would have) I figured paying off the overdraft quicker is a more worthy cause.
