Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2014!

rubywhatashmoo

Paid another 100 quid off the overdraft now that the bills have finally cleared my account and the dust has settled so I can see how much money I really have left this month!
EDIT: After working out my total paid off amount it was only going to be another fiver to round it off to 15% so I've shoved that on my CC

#008: £855/£5700 15% :j

Hi all, sorry to the newbies for keeping you waiting - Tuesday's are my busy evening - out of the house from 8.30am to 10pm!

Hi Ianise - It's not to late at all! You will be number 149, just let me know how much you want to pay off!

Hi Greenanne - welcome to the thread, you're number 150!

catriona - have updated your total. We still have plenty of time to catch up!

mayforher - congrats on the baby! Boy or girl? You're number 151 - just let me know when you can how much you've paid off etc.

hi can'tfindafreeuserid - just let me know your cumulative amount paid off - don't reset it or anything. I make a note of how much we have paid off at the end of each month, and can see the difference from that.

ruby - I love when that happens, especially if it's only another 50p or £5 you need to pay off! Congrats on reaching 15%

I'm afraid I need a bit of a rant - very annoyed my work still hasn't pulled their finger out and signed off my promotion. I was told I should be reviewed last August, but wasn't aware I was supposed instigate the review, and not HR. A series of delays pushed me back to mid-December. My regional manager then had 2 weeks to sign it off at New Year (I'll forgive a slight delay because of Christmas) but I'm still waiting to have it signed off now. It really does not make me feel very valued/like my company has a very vested interest in my progression.

It's a really pants time of year for jobs in my industry, otherwise I'd have a renewed vigour for searching for new jobs!

Anyway, sorry - rant over!

good news - OH's MOT is not due until the 28th Feb so it means we can take cash from next pay day if necessary. :j (fingers crossed we won't need to)

Well it's frustrating because I am pushing, but HR said there isn't much they can do about it.

Won't mention my specific industry! I am covered under the big wide 'construction' umbrella, but there are a lot of specialities within that.

I think it'll be a miracle if we pay off all our debt by Christmas - I'm confident we will get 75% though - we are just spendaholics!!!

Hi all

I'm now at #020 £901.32/£4813.83 - 18%

That's just with my monthly payments. I've set up £500 of savings to go against the loan tomorrow - very excited!

What I'm really excited about is how both my debts are now under £2k, somehow they just seem more manageable all of a sudden.

Cantfindafreeuserid

Paid a total of £74.17 off my debt today

#114 £230.35 / £5840

It's slow going but it's going :T
