Well done from me too! I got paid today but can't put any towards debt as mortgage goes out. DH gets paid on 15th of month so this is when I can throw some more money at it.0

I have a grand total of £69.08 so far. I am paid on Friday and will pay off one of the debts and then save the money to put back by the end of the month if that makes sense!
Well done everyone so far xPay Debt by Xmas 16 - 0/12000

Pay day today!!
So I've been able to clear my next account and have paid just 11.00 off debt 2!:j Will be able to pay some more off on Friday when OH gets paid. Not sure how much yet as OH's wages vary from month to month depending on overtime and expenses. So don't know how much of my wages I need to leave in the account for direct debits etc. Hopefully it'll be a nice chunk so I stand some chance of completing this challenge!0 -
Is it too late for me to join in? I am starting a new job in 2 weeks where I will be getting paid weekly - hopefully this will help me budget a lot better than I do at the minute. I have an outstanding loan to work for £660 which should be paid out of my final pay this week (eek!) then I have my HSBC overdraft of £200 and A&L overdraft of £250! I hope to have them all paid off by christmas as then I will only have my Graduate Loan to HSBC left to pay off. (33 payments of £210)

I seem to be good at finding challenges late!
Think I will count myself in for this one but slightly differently -
1 - Credit Card Balance: £77
2 - Dorothy Perkins Card: £150(ish)
3 - Save £1800 to move out by 1st December
The only other debt I have it my loan but I wanna tackle these 3 things before I save to pay my loan off early.
Good luck everyone xxx0 -
