Afternoon All
I've finally hit this years target figure after a very expensive October trying to help get my sons car on the road.:j I'm no where near debt free, but really pleased to have hit my target.
#058: £12,628/ £12,600 (100%)
Minicooper - can I set myself a new target please which can be carried forward into 2015 - not sure how it works but happy to go with the flow?
If I can set a new target my Nov 2014 to December 2015 target is £12,000 (£6000 of debt and £6000 of mortgage). (I can split down into 2014 and 2015 if easier):D
Blitz that mortgage
Jun 2016 £152,000
April 2021 £85,0000 -
Rachiedabler - congratulations on reaching target! I'll do a roll of honour in a mo!
I'll run this thread up to Christmas, and the whole thing will start over again with new targets and new numbers from around Boxing Day. I'll add you as #218 for now, but it will be a new number in the new year! I'll put you down for £12000, but let me know if you'd rather set a smaller interim target!0 -
Roll of Honour 2014!

Is it too late for me to join for this year and next?
Won't even make a dent by Xmas 2014 but hope to by Xmas 2015.
Just moved in to a cheap flat and DHs wages will cover all living expenses and minimum payments (just), so everything I make can be put towards paying off debts - which sounds great except that my job is seasonal and ends in 2 weeks time, starting again in March 2015 :eek:.
There is just the two of us plus monster cat. All 4 kids have flown the nest.
Total debt right now as far as I can work out is £44,214.66 consisting of:-
£1,763.25 Credit Card at 40%+ APR!
£1,395.90 Catalogue
£1,235.19 Bank
£9,820.32 Family Loan
plus an estimate of £30,000 which is what I would hope our other creditors would accept in full & final (for the past 6 years all of these have either been getting token payments or nothing at all).
I have read all of this thread and you seem like a friendly bunch so hope I can join you
Welcome Longships :wave: I have a similar amount to repay so we can plod along together
Just gone over the £1000 paid mark. So happy :j

Well done everyone on the impressive debt-busting!
I've had to reduce my payments due to christmas and an impending trip to Amsterdam, however I should have paid off over 5K in total this year by Dec 25th, so not too bad! Current figures are:
#163: £4904/9141 (53%)Starting 2016 debt-free
Emergency Fund: £350/£10000 -
Member number 87 checking in.
£200 paid off today bring total so far to
#87 £4,506.29/£9,827.73 or 45.8% so close to half way. I hope I can make it by Christmas. Then I'll have to do it all again next year :eek::rotfl:
