    work confuses me, really. i mean i like my job but i feel bored by it - i don't feel challenged. i do wonder whether i'd thrive better in a private environmnet instead of third sector but then the pressure might get to me. i'd quite like to work in the travel sector!
  • Hey guys. Just got paid from job #2 this morning, so paid another £100 off the overdraft. Total is now

    181 £1959.00/[STRIKE]£5718.00[/STRIKE] 34.26%

    And thats United Utilities Paid off today, £268.68 of money I really dont have spare but have saved myself getting another CCJ..

    Now I need to find £1400 to clear my advertising balance so I can start earning some real money to pay the mortgage..

    On the positive only 2.53% away from 10%, and if by some miracle I can find the £1400 down the back of the couch I will have paid off over £3000 in 5 months debt busting and have my business back to operating at 90% strength, enabling itself to knock off the last £800 it owes bringing me to 3800 paid off by the end of june and able to push forwards without limits

    well ive updated my figures below - although I should be feeling happy but I just feel like unless a real good order in the next 7 days ive got another disaster on the way

    Debt free by Xmas 2014: #182 £1644.36/£22,000 (7.47%)
    £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%)
    MFW: Opening Balance: £108,297.91 Original MF Date: June 2042

    Proud to be dealing with my debts

    108 here.

    Made a payment today to the credit card, so now I'm at £5090.79/£10,000.

    Nice one. I'm sneaking up on the 50% barrier myself and should smash through it in a couple of weeks.
    DEBT FREE!

    Is it too late to join you? I’ve just paid off two cards and it’s inspired me to get cracking on the final two! Since January I’ve paid £3090 / £8847 = 35%

    Sorry I didn't spot you yesterday - I clearly wasn't reading close enough! You're #196, well done for the payments so far, and good luck for the rest of the year!

    Hi Guna, welcome to the challenge - you're #197!

    Pricing up our holiday at the moment - getting very excited! We were going to go away early next year, but it's £300 less to go in October, so we'd be daft not to... Can't believe the price differences you get :eek:
