Hi Everyone,
#030 in the house!
Sold another 2 items on ebay, so an extra £50 has been sent to DH Virgin 0% CC account, this is now £1250. Strange how ebay is starting to pick up again.
DH Virgin 0% CC £1250
MY Tesco 0% CC £1697
£2947/ £10,033.44
One more over-payment this month after payday.
Keep up the debt busting, every little bit helps to get shot of the debt!
Stay safe,
Bizzy

Hi everyone
Agree Bizzy about Bay of E - i've sold some items on there and have a few more listed. Small amounts but all helps. Also selling some books, DVDs and CDs on Ziffit.
I got my half yearly self employment payment so paid £700 to my CCs; updated total below:#96 £2,425.53/3,550
Keep going everyone

Right folks, I've a confession. I've been really enjoying one of my hobbies again- as mentioned in a previous post- and I've fallen off the wagon big time, and made an expensive, frivolous pair of purchases. I'm really disappointed with myself, but currently trying to get head back around what I've done and just re-focus. Because of this, and the compound of using some of the small emergency fund I grew last month, I'm having to load up what I owed this year by £500. So that now puts me at a (I know, i was so close
) corrected:
#175 = £7200 / £7800
The good news is- the line of credit I have used (IE not an existing card) is interest free if I pay it away by December 20th! so I'm hoping to chop it away nice and quickly and STILL hit the end of year target. I'm not going to knee jerk and just reverse what I've done- so I'm just going to live with the consequences, share the truth with you all, adjust the target, and get back on the wagon. Feel like a bit of an idiot, especially being so closePay Off Debts by Xmas 2025 debt £0/74003 -

I haven't updated through lockdown but I have managed to pay off a chunk. I've earned less but spent less and juggled so I took out a loan to clear some cc debts. And another loan that worked out way cheaper than my mortgage so I've managed to clear £4368. I still don't think I'll shave much more off by Christmas but I'll keep plugging away. People are doing amazingly well even just paying off a little bit at the moment is great. I may be debt free and mortgage free next year it's only taken me 30 years to LBM.DF by 2023 No 17 £1,644 /£6000 Total debt £18,000 at the start of DFW Journey. 201814TH JULY 2021 DEBT FREE now in control365 1p challenge No 492 -

Hello, I hope everyone is ok and still managing to reduce their debt before Xmas.
I have paid off £17,386 so far and I haven't spent a single penny on credit cards this year, since I started this challenge! I've been saving up weekly for every expense I can think of, in pots, and have just paid my car insurance in full from these savings, which I'm really proud of - sadly.
Take care.
