Shadydaz - is it ok if I give you an update for me at the end of the month? I have so many DDs I can't keep track, its much easier for me to do one total tot up at the end of the month.

No problem! Whatever works for you.

Haven't been on for a few days again. Had a thing at hospital on Thurs - after 7 years of pain etc I have finally been diagnosed with Crohns disease. people keep telling me how sorry they are, but as far as Im concerned I've always had it, giving it a name doesn't make t more serious. And I can finally call it something and get treated woooooo!!!!

All the best with this, my cousin has Crohns and suffers badly with it. My thoughts are with you.

Just updating my signature, but the total is going to go up temporarily as we have a wee redistribution of debt. We are paying about £300 of expenses onto a (0%) credit card this month :(to try and shrink the overdraft so the credit card totals will go up but eventually o/d will go down.

It'll save us £1 per day in overdraft charges but I won't decrease our o/d limit until I am sure that it's shrunk permanently. (I have an irrational fear of going over o/d limit:eek:)

tlc I feel for you - Crohn's disease sounds v unpleasant:grouphug:

Hi

Just thought i'd let you know im not going to be able to continue this challenge. We are getting married next year and while i still have a great deal of debt to deal with im going to continue paying as much as i can to it but we are also trying to save so im going to drop out of this challenge for now

Sorry to let you all down but with working two jobs and not having much time to update i think its for the best.

Good luck everyone

No probs Buddiebabe. Good luck with everything and all the best for next year.

You can still call in and see how we are getting on though and to say hello!

Hello everyone

Just got back from 4 weeks away from this website and my spreadsheets :mad: and updated myself with how everyones getting on. *big hugs* to everyone thats had bad news/things not going so well, but the total of £58K+ is amazing well done everyone :T:T:T:T.

I can finally update my January total which is £850.09 - not quite as much as I wanted but Im still happy. So far this month I have cleared an overdraft and a credit card so Im a very very happy bunny now. The only thing is I wont know my final total until the end of the month as I live in the one OD (not for long hopefully)

Shadydaz - sorry my jan update is a bit late, I hope its not messed up your spreadsheets and I promise to do better next month . Glad to hear about the promotion and that your moms a bit better.
