well ive been away from here for a few weeks trying to get my head sorted as I am starting to have quite big mood swings from really happy to really low. currently my finances appear like a complete lost cause with little hope left I will pay it off as business has been dire
found out one reason it has been so dire, some of the software on one of our websites had a bug which was putting buyers off, fixed that and its returned to being where we expected at this time of year, trouble is the financial damage from 6 weeks of being dead is definately being felt in the NLID household with the daily post consisting of 1 or 2 normal bills, and 5 or 6 debt chasers wanting a piece of me.
Nothings changed in about 6 weeks, made the mortgage payment by the skin of my teeth, but no overpayments:( need to pay ebay before they cut my account off and force me to give up and go bankrupt. I dont even know the balances of most of my debts now, as my spreadsheet got lost when my laptop's hard drive decided 6 years was enough and it was going to die
its good to see everyone on here is doing so well - Good luck to all of you!£4142.49/ £131,795.91 - 3.14% paid off or only £129,608.80 to go!

Proud to be dealing with my debts0 -
Oh dear! NLID you're just not having much luck at all. Fingers crossed you get a massive surge in business soon! I'm sure you've probably heard of sites like Dropbox before, but that's where I keep a copy of my spreadsheet. It sits like a normal folder in my computer, I can access it offline, but when I'm online it will save a copy in the magical internet land. Worth mentioning, as it's free!
Well I'm just back from a long weekend for a friends wedding. It was such an expensive weekend, I think it has cost over £300 once you include train, dinners, gift, drinks and hotel. Absolutely lovely to see a load of old uni friends, and of course the bride! But I will be tightening my belt for the rest of the month.0 -
Back to the business at hand - I've totted up the July totals, and am really pleased to say we have beaten June, paying off:
£32,594.42
And welcoming 6 new members :j:j
We also have 1 new debt free member (well done Jonesy :T:T) and I'm getting rather excited about some of the totals I'm seeing - good luck for the month ahead everyone!!!0 -
Excellent totals there everyone !! Only 5 more paydays left for me and I have £1700 left. Not sure I can squeeze that much out of my salary. Especially with Xmas coming up. Better start buying stuff now in preperation.
Thankfully I have got my TV purchase Quidco payment coming this week - £74.94 which is a nice brucey bonus. Now all I need is the SKY TV cashback of £100 to be paid too.0 -
Morning all #199 here. Been a delay in updating.
Payment made so now at 1295.57/3643.57
One of my 0% deals expires in Oct but not sure how well it's going to go from here as just brought myself a new to me car. Think I may now struggle getting it all paid off but still going to go for it.
Thanks

Sorry about all the hassle you've had minicooper.
Atleast your car didn't let you down.
Nothing good to update financially. Just came on here to say a 'financial meh'.I know you'll understand how I'm feeling and have probably all been there. Big sigh. :wall:

Well done to all on the payments so far.
I have decided to use my savings to try & get the debt down a bit quicker so have paid some off today.
Also was stupidly spending money like crazy on another credit card & there ended up with £1119.00 on it - WHAT IS WRONG WITH MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
So that put my total up which I have updated below.

Well, I was made redundant in July, so used some of my package to pay off a few debts. Part of me wants to pay off everything, but the other part of me thinks its sensible to keep the cash in the bank until I have another job lined up.
£5933.66 paid off in July, making a total of £8503.99 for the year to date for #124
I've passed my target now, but that was based on me working at the time. I'll keep going with the challenge though, as I do want to pay off as much as I canDebt free since December 2015. It can be done0
