Checking in for the last payment before Christmas, nearly there but I'll roll the amount left into year's thread. Had to make a small last payment to make it a nice round figure!

You've all done so well.I was so hoping to hit £3000(my target was £4000 but I haven't been able to find work yet) but my ex owes me £200 in child maintenance and keeps telling me he'll pay it "next week" grrrrr.Debts Jan 2014 £20,108.34 :eek:

Ooh Ooh almost there!! I forgot a payment I made in November and didn't notice until I logged on to NDR money to pay my catalogue and a message popped up saying they weren't running my account any more and to go back to the catalogue so I logged in online there(not been able to for a year)and it logged me in and my balance was lower than expected which was a nice surprise

So total for now is
#165 2963.79/4000
and I am going to try desperately hard to find £37 from somewhere to pay off that last little bit to get to the £3000 as I couldn't do £4000.Debts Jan 2014 £20,108.34 :eek:

This was supposed to be my last payment of the year but I am only £23 short of paying off £5k this year so I may have another look to see if I can squeeze it from somewhere

#87 £4977.17/£9827.73 or 50.6%
:j over 50% paid off :j I'm so pleased. Thank you to minicooper for running this thread and thank you to everyone who posts here. Everyone is so encouraging and supportive
Well done :T Have a look behind the sofa for the £23 :rotfl:I've not posted for a couple of months but have still been busy paying it off
#129 £8747.99 / £9016
That means I have one payment of £268.01 left to pay which would normally go out by direct debit on the 25th but should now go on the 29th, so I won't officially be debt free for Christmas but will be before the year is out
Well done, that's brilliant :T
Payday today so I finish my challenge on £5000 / £49000 10.2%
:j
See you on the 2015 thread! :beer::beer:
