Clear a debt by April challenge

roxystaff

well I've just worked out how much we've managed to pay off the debts from 13th nov to 13th dec, payday tomorrow, and we've managed £333.33 this month.

Can't see us managing as much for the next month but i'm happy with a start

so trying for £1500 - £1166.67 to go

I have made another £4.65 yesterday!:j My mum wanted to order some xmas presents online so asked me to do it cos she knows i can get cashback, and she gets a bit confused with online ordering!!. So i ordered them and got £2.50 cashback through quidco! She then gave me a cheque to cover it all as id used my card, but rounded up the cheque to the nearest ten, telling me to keep the extra £2.15 as "commission" :rotfl: as it would have cost her £2.80 on the bus to get the shops to buy them anyway - and id got her much better prices online than the high street shops anyway!

I also noticed an additional 60p worth of kelkoo clicks on quidco have been validated when i logged in ! So yay! If i count that - that makes £5.25...

Then today i just got 2 surveys on lightspeed - so managed to get another £2 sent to my paypal! So now thats £7.25 this week - BONUS!!

Taking my total too.... £57.38!!:T

Only another £242.62 to go before april..:rolleyes:

Morning all. :hello:

How is everyone doing with the challenge? Doodledo - haven't heard from you recently? How are you doing with your challenge?

Got paid today so have some money to throw at my debts :j but not as much as I wanted to as seriously overspent last month:mad: . I only have myself to blame!

Its so depressing when you get paid. I look at all the money that goes toward tax and national insurance, try and figure out what I get for that money, rant about the government for 5 minutes and then think about one day living in a tax haven.

Some more bits sold on ebay and extra bits of cashback from last minute christmas shopping (mine and families ) so my total now at £66.85 Need to try and make £12.10 by the end of the week to be on target.. hmm... *gets thinking cap on*

Just seen this thread, i just set myself my first challenge yesterday and it was to clear my Abbey card by the end of april, might try and do it by the begining to fall in with this challenge.

19/12/2007 First mini challenge clear Abbey CC by April -
Target £2149.99
Done So far £0.00
Remainder £2149.99

Its quite a big target but i've just told friends that when we are at bowling im not going to be buying rounds anymore and going to do the same at pool so that should free up some additional money.:j

As you can see I've done really well this month Overdraft only £170.40 and payday is tomorrow (we get paid early in December). Unfortunately January will be a very bad month as a lot of my expenses seem to have gone into next January instead of December, plus have had a few extra costs as well. So going to aim to spend very little cash during December and try and get a bit more cash in somehow to cover these extra costs. Fingers crossed, any tips greatfully appreiciated.

Is it too late to join ?

It would be my first challenge i haven't felt brave or determined enough to start any of the others around here

I currently have a loan with welcome finance for £1,500 this loans interest rate is 50% which is truly shocking as you can imagine i want to get rid of this as soon as possible

So if i can join its £1,500 that i'm trying to save and whilst this may not get rid of the whole debt it will get rid of a great chunk of it so that will bring my dfd closer and i can start to snowball my debts
soooo anyhooooooo can i join ?

Evening all and welcome to all the new challegees!

I paid off £220 off the evil cc today made up of:
£20 Christmas money
£178 second job money (unfortuantly no more of this)
£6 from an Ebay sale
£14 from Amazon sales
£2 from my salary to round things up

Hopefully my lodger will give me Januarys rent early so I can pay that off and then use some of my salary to clear the card before 2008. If so 2008 will be the first time in about 6 years that I wont have a cc debt hanging over my head:D

Its been a pretty mad year for me and as well as all the personal stuff I have aquired £157k worth of debt just on my shoulders from my flat alone, but managed to get my total debt to under £160k. I have paid off just over 3k since my LBM as well as solicitors fees and 2k worth of mortgage arrears run up by my ex. If I can do half as well in 2008 I shall be a pretty happy bunny!

I hope everyones challenges are going well!
