Morning All
Hope you are all well. Some good amounts being paid off already.:j
Update from me £339.73 direct debit gone out so
#58: £1,049.73/£10,400 (10.09% paid)
Won't be paying any more off until my loan payment goes out mid month - I've used all my spare money to clear a credit card and my bank balance looks very sad (and by sad I mean very empty!).:( Going to take the kids out for lunch for a treat and go and do my food shopping ready for back at work and school. Have a great day all. x:)Blitz that mortgage

Hi,
I would like to join in for this year.
I have a personal loan and a credit card which I would like to pay off this year.
Personal Loan: £12037.04
Credit Card: £2567.87
Total target is £14604.91
I will try to pay them by:
1. Paying any bonus or overtime off the loan
2. Paying the money I was spending on student loan payments off the credit card
3. Selling some more of my ebay items.
It will be a struggle to pay it all by the end of the year, but I really would like to have it all paid as soon as possible.
