Pay a debt by Xmas 08

doodledo_2

Clearmydebts - welcome to the challenge and good luck.

Plan today is to get some more bits sorted to go on Ebay as realistically this will be my source of extra income for this challenge. So anything I make from now till Xmas on Ebay I will use as overpayments for the evil MBNA card :mad:

Must venture back to doing some Slicing the Pie too, only small money but every penny helps.

Thanks Doodledoo,

I plan to pay back my various debts (£5,485) by using the wages from my OH's 8 weeks work. I also work part-time for AQA so will be using that money to pay off as much as possible.

I look forward to seeing how everyone is getting on!

I have paid £150 overpayment to my Egg card today, as I got some mystery shopping money, amazon and ebay money hitting my account.........

I'm on my way

I've found I have £113 in my Yorkshire BS savings account! I thought it was £55 but it's not!

I'm also on my way.

Well done hypno, what a great start!

I am changing my aim (before I even start, I know...). We owe my mum a seperate £800 aswell, and I think that this is a more realistic aim to be going for.
I will be tying it in with the £10/day challenge, but some of the £10/day I will now be using for other things as I would have before.

How confusing... hope someone out there understands what I'm rattling about!

Well done Hypno,

That really is a great start to the challenge! Mine won't be going down until the end of the month when I get paid (Yay - a few days away!). Should be able to make great dents at the end of July and Aug (when OH is working) and then it will go back to dribs and drabs when he goes back to college. Every bit counts though!

I'm aiming to lose the rest of my debt (excluding student loan...2k mint card, 2.5k tesco card and £500 overdraft) by xmas...no need to add me to the thingy, but just wanted to wish everyone on here the very best of luck!

Hi Guys,

Only a day behind everyone else (as usual:rolleyes:) could I join would love to clear my nasty OD now Im working out of another a/c for mortgage etc etc. So could I add a riduculous £1500 to the list thats a stonking extra £250 to find each month but lets think how much emptier my house will be by Christmas. Sure there will be lots of peeps wanting to buy my treasure (carp) !!

Just made an £80 overpayment to my egg loan, only another £1420 to go to reach my overpayment target by christmas.

I do have a change jar filling up which i will pay in next time i go to the bank. I also have a few bids on my ebay items so im pleased with the start ive made. Well done to everyone else who has got started, and good luck to everyone who has set a target. Im sure we will all get there by Dec 24th, well i will if you guys stop me from buying things i dont really need for the baby!!!
