According to my spreadsheet, at the end of June we will be 54% of the way through the challenge. So plenty of time to catch up

I have had to add another £1047 to my debt because I am paying DS1s uni fees this year. He will get a fee loan next year, this September in fact. I am hoping I can pay of my car repair bill before the next one comes in. I totally sympathise with Babybetty and rattlesnake. I am selling things from the house to pay debts.

I am on a bit of a downer at the mo. Had to folk out over £700 on car repairs - honestly I did not see that coming. What started off as needing 2 new tyres turned out to being a suspension problem. Well I suppose the good news is that I did not have to go in more debt over this. Car insurance is due at the begining of July GRhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

We need two new tires aswell and also some brake pads and there is a light which keeps poping on!! so i am really not looking forward to it going in!! I hope it doesnt cost us to much as i might have to put it on credit!!!! I am hoping ican just have a really tight mth and not need to do his!!! oh how i wish i had been putting a amount away each mth instead o throwing all i could at the debt................

Not so great with the payments this month but I am paying off 648 this month taking my total paid off since December to £9251. That's nearly half of the £20K. I do have to admit that more has gone on the debt but it always seems to manage to go downwards:o. If only I could stick to my budget!!! :rolleyes:

Hi

I'm paying off £939 from my debt this month taking my total since December to £10190. My total debt is now sub £10k - it's a great feeling.

My income has changed so I don't think I'll be anywhere near the £20K goal but I am getting there.

Finally, I will get paid this week after waiting 3 weeks for my timesheets to be approved, however after I have done my sums which includes paying for a portion of my tax bill, I will only be able to pay minimum payments on my credit cards.
On a brighter note I have somehow managed to get 2 % cc from Abbey so will be transferring the remainder from my mbna card.

£94.98 minimum payment to Egg. Just got under the £7k on credit cards mark! Hurrah.

Quick update from me - forogt husband had tuition fees to pay, which weren't included in our original debt total (my brain not including them as they weren't due back then and I just forgot!) So.... another £3055 to add to the total - off to ensure sig is updated

(Listed 15 things on ebay yesterday and have 90 children's items ready for an NCT sale next month - hopefully some funds to come from there )

Some fab progress coming through - well done everyone!!
