Pay a debt by Xmas 08

clearmydebts

Hi all,

Managed to pay £400 off my debts. I can't wait to smash the £23,000 mark next month, It will feel great psychologically.

Better stop wishing the month away. It's only the 2nd July. Am determined to get rid of this debt though. Am sick of it. It has been a way of life for the last 7-8 years.

Just checking in to see how everyone is getting on. I should have about £200 to overpay at the weekend from various things. Its brilliant motivation to be doing this challenge with everyone. Good to see everyone is so motivated and making progress so soon. cant wait to make my next payment!

A small overpayment came off today so I've updated again

Off to see what else I can sell on Amazon. Still can't face trying Ebay

Long way to go yet!!!

Wow everyone is doing so well already :T

Welcome to the newbies, another 7 since I last checked

Have some bits listed on Ebay so as soon as they finish will be making my overpayment.

Also had some good news that hubby might be getting some overtime this month so some more pennies to throw at the debts :T

Hi doodledo,

It is a great challenge and if I can pay off my 'various' debts by Xmas and am left with £18,000 going into the New Year I will be very happy!

Hi everyone,

i've only just come across this thread and thinks it's a brilliant idea and would love to join in please. I dont think i'll be able to clear a debt in full (would be lovely if i could) but will aim to pay £1000 back to my catalogue by xmas. Going to work out my finances to see if i can cut back anywhere else or see if there is anything i can sell to help boost my total.
Everyone else seems to be doing really well so far, I'm sure we can all make it:D

Hi Nickynoo,

Welcome! I can't pay back all of my debts either so am aiming to pay back some of my various debts. If I have something to aim for I am more likely to do it than if I was doing it on my own.

Hi everyone :hello:
I feel like I'm being a bit slow of the mark with this challenge.
I have things in the pipeline which I am going to use towards this challenge, but just have no hard cash to pay off at present...

I have a few items on ebay, and a mystery shop next week. I have set up a standing order for £50/month to come off the debt (the actual debt is with my mum, which she has put on 0% for me). The standing order amount is the same as what I would have been sending to the cards for the minimum payment each month. If I send that July-Dec it will be £300. Sooo...there is £1199.91 left to find...! :eek:

Well, best get my finger out hadn't I now... :rotfl:
