    Drastic but I will try atleast to end one loan/debt. Let me join here:T

    Hi Trixie, you're number 194 - how much do you think you will try to pay off before Christmas?
    If you wouldn't mind popping me up on the board, that would be brilliant.

    Long time lurker, but I'm after a badger badge this year.
    Amount to clear: £3,323.61

    DFD 24/12/14

    Hi Factory Pilot - You're #195 - welcome to the challenge, and good luck going for the badger badge!

    I've been given a pay rise today :) About £80 a month :) Off to figure out how to split that up...
  • Hi All,
    £1080 paid from April's pay day, almost a third paid, if I can
    keep this up Christmas is looking good. :j
    Have been selling on fleabay to up my payments, but keep having problems with buyers either not paying or saying parcels haven't arrived even when they've been signed for!! Doesn't help my pot when I end up paying out for postage & giving items away for free!!!
    :mad:

  • Sorry Minicooper, I need to learn to type faster. If I hadn't been ranting I might have got my balance in quicker.

    Anyway, here's the new total:

    which means i've hit the mighty 30%

    Almost a third of the way there....

    well thats my credit card paid this month... Another £130 out of my bank account... but it brings me over 5%

    Debt free by Xmas 2014: #182£1216/£22,000 (5.55%)

    By this time next week, I have to be on £1484 paid off or a whopping 6.7% Paid!

    Now ive hit my first 5% - im gunning for 10%, at this rate of payment estimated to be around 4-5 weeks away if I can work optimally..

    By the end of May, My contractual commitments and arrears payments will see me having paid a total of £1916 or 8.7% of the debt im looking to clear.

    Now if only my joblot of shoes would go for somewhere near what I am asking for and I would be, and tomorrow I hope to list some more job lots with the aim of just using the sales values to clear debts
    £4142.49/ £131,795.91 - 3.14% paid off or only £129,608.80 to go!
    Debt free by Xmas 2015: #182 £1955.38/£4435.51 (44.08%)

    excellent news, everyones doing really well :D

    can't wait to get to 2k. then i'll be a third of the way there.

    i've actually miscalculated my total debt but i can't be bothered to adjust it so we'll just keep it at 6000. i doubt i'll be able to clear my car off by the end of the year anyway :( apart from the car, i have ~£1350 remaining to pay off.

    Woohoo my Noddle credit rating went back up to 4/5. It only went down to 3/5 for the last 3 months, I have no idea why it went down, I haven't taken new credit or cleared any money so no explanation why it dropped. Still have no idea how to get 5/5.

    On another note, I completed 27 hours overtime this last week. So that will be a nice tody sum come Payday on 23rd May. Getting paid early because of the late May bank holiday so June is 5 weekends long, not fresh !!
