Happy debt-busting everyoneStarting 2016 debt-free

After getting all my figures into a pickle over the past few weeks I have sat down this morning and sorted them out........I think.
My current figures are
#49 1478.54/4032 = 36.67%
I really want rid of the DMP now and have been tweeking figures to try to get it paid off before Xmas. This will free up £309 per month which I can pay off my debts owed to family.
Grrrrrr I'm feeling very, very frustrated.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%

In an attempt to control our food shop spending I've been buying stuff out of a single bank account with enough cash for food shop only. We have also tried to be sensible about what we buy. Been ok do far!
Have you been to the supermarkets just before they close on Sundays? At my local A5da they reduced the chilled meals - the ones that are 3 for £6 etc to about 30p if they're sell by that date. I bought soups in the paper cartons for 10p too. I keep begging OH for another freezer - I could fill it for hardly anything at that rate! It would be such a good investment in the long run.A vision without a plan is just a dream.0 -
Hi
#135 here
I've paid off a further £441.04 to the debts, still about £700 behind target but if I haven't got it I can't pay it! Made plenty of little payments to the council tax though, really want to pay that off as soon as possible so I can focus hard on the other little debts for a month or two to clear them too.
Total now stands at
£3,139.51 / £7,365.00 = £4,225.49 owing = 42.63% paid off
I can't believe we're 2/3rds of the way to the end, there's only 3 (hopefully 4) paydays until Christmas...eeek!A vision without a plan is just a dream.0 -

Morning all. I managed to pay off £150 off my CC this month and am looking for a bonus £200 (getting paid for some one off casual paid work) so am hoping this month will make a massive dent in it.
Good luck everyoneDebt Free Jan 2015 :T0
