Pay a debt by Xmas 08

Cleosmum

Can I join? I would like to pay my HSBC loan off, which is currently £293.67. I ordered a paying in book for it a few days ago, as its easier to overpay it that way. I feel like thats a small amount, I may add another, will have a look at my spreadsheet and see how things stand! Watch this space!

I'd love to join this challenge as longer term challenges do keep me focused. However a quick review of the debts show that none of mine will be clearable by Christmas. They're all too big and our main debt busting will be focused at one which is at the highest rate and currently is at £9k but will be down to just under £5k by the end of the year. All the others are smaller but at significantly lower rates and therefore we need to pay off the £9k one next.

So I'll be with you in spirit good luck

Hi
Cool idea
Can I join in please, I've got two debts I would like to combine £540 overdraught plus £470 I have borrowed from my family (interest free but feel guilty), so that's a total of £960 I would like to clear by Xmas '08
Works out to @ £40 per week so not too bad
Ebays the way
Feels great to be real about it
Good luck to you all

I would like to join in with this one please!

My Tesco credit card - current balance £573.59

I know it is quite small one but given the current state of the family finances it will be quite a challenge to find the spare cash. Challenges are not meant to be easy!!

Really pleased with my little self
not made anything yet, but listed a few items on ebay- 1 very expensive one included in that.
Also me and DH have a new idea to advertise locally to offer like: gardening/grass cutting/ironing service. Going to advertise this week and see if anything comes from it... wish us luck

Hi everyone,

Got paid today so have paid off about £300. Will add it to my signature when it shows on the cards and loan. None were overpayments but am hoping to earn money on my part-time job this month and OH will be getting paid! (Yay, 1st time since last August!).

Am loving this thread.

My first overpayment came off today:j so I've updated sig.

Sold another item on Amazon as well so as soon as it's in my account I'll transfer that over too!

Well done everyone, we CAN do this!!!

Paid £50 (money saved on fags & booze) to my grandparents yesterday so now challenge is 910. It feels great to be paying back my loved ones at last.
