Started to feel very determined to get rid of this debt, sort out my fitness and get quite a bit done generally.
Started exercising again and running on the weekend. Although I cant really afford to pay anything until the end of the week started the PAD to try to at least pay something off - it always feels good when you do so made a £1 payment towards the Barclaycard.Total Debt now £22,525.07 Start Debt £32,732.36

keep up the good work Hobsch, your slowly getting there.
I am currently on £21,868 but the great news is I will be getting £1200 from HSBC on reclaiming my bank carges so all the cash is going to pay off my Northen Rock Loan of £950 (finally) and the rest to reduce my overdraft. I am glad I got the money. I will hav 5 debts to deal with instead of 6 which is a massive lift for me. Soon I be takling 3-4 debts and hopefully plough as cash into getting those CC down. The best good news is I will finally be in 19k Mark by september which is a massive massive milestone especially to be in the Teens.
My advise for anyone juglling a handfull of debts is to pay any one off asap then takle the next most important. This also will give you a boost.
Happy debt busting

Hey everyone, Hosbch wow 10k paid off thats amazing! Think how much you could possibly save when you are debt free!!

My debt isnt going too well im still paying off but it occasionally goes back up, mainly because im on crap pay but also i had a two week hol and only got paid for a week (agencies are crap!) so im trying to survive, i spose im just thinking its bad coz realistically im paying £233.89 off of my car and i dont re spend that.
Keep up the good work! And im doing some overtime this weekend just to be able to afford my normal payments like food ect :rolleyes:Due to budget cuts the light at the end of the tunnel will be switched off.
