    :wave: Hiya lovelies,

    I'm glad to see we're still all going strong.

    At our end wading through MILs finances is still taking a bit of time and having my daughter off school seems to have slowed my eBay progress down a little but otherwise we're still soldiering on.

    We paid off £1541.37 this month.

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    Well done Jacks - thats a great amount. I need to add mine up again....back in a minute! x x

    OK its currently 5661.16 paid off the debt - the actual payments made is more than that but horrendous interest rates make the debt reduction smaller sob! x

    just over another £800 paid. Still got my car loan payment etc to come out. This is my second last car payment. Should I phone up the loan company just to check the date on the paperwork or once the last payment is gone just cancel the dd?
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    I have paid £100 over the last couple of days which brings my debt repayment for the year to £14000 - 70% of the way to target!

    another loan payment comes out tomorrow so I should be able to update again tomorrow.

    Hi

    How do you earn the extra money to pay off your debts, I have back read this thread, but other than ebay and 'taxi' car I think Insurance payout? Could be wrong there:(, how do you earn the extra money so quickly?

    I am reluctant to use ebay, as I was a victim of fraud activity using my old account, where they tried to buy loads of stuff in my name, took me months to prove, it was not me! Ended with me closing the account for good!

    Any advice welcome.

    Thanks LUCY7509

    Proud to be dealt with my debts!:D
  • Whoops, gone and got myself all confused about what I should be paying off before xmas, as I have now got 2 0% credit cards:j, one with £3400 which includes my overdraft which I was paying £25.00 a month interest on and the other one is £2300 and covers the rest of the silly debt. So I will hopefully be able to make a dent now if im not paying interest for a while... :rolleyes:

    Thinkm i need to change my sig as well. Think I will stick with the overdraft total as a challenge.

    On a completely different note does anyone understand the difference apart from ebay making more money about the new charges. Does it work out better now if you are selling lower value items?

    Yep and it must be friday I just posted on the wrong thread!!! just meant to read this one!!

    Thanks
