    Morning Everyone

    There are some fantastic figures being paid off here.

    Taxi £60k :eek: Well done, that's amazing. I hope you are feeling well.

    I have paid all my monthly direct debits so for this month it's £849.

    Hopefully I will have a little left at the end of the month to pay off a little more - fingers crossed.

    Another £125 paid off my Tesco credit card. I thought I would be leaving you all as I was re-mortgaging but it seems to be taking an age. Despite that I am still paying off all my CCs a little at a time.
    business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

    Hi All

    I have not posted for a while. Debt repayments slowing down now thanks to christmas, two MOTs, losing weight (so just had to buy new clothes of course!!!) and a new grandchild due this week (I cannot believe the price of travel systems these days!).

    I am not on target to reach my 26k off the debts now by the end of the year - although I have still got Novembers and Decembers pay yet to come - but if I manage to make it to 23K off the debts and another
    10 lbs off the weight I will be pleased!!

  • Hi my life :-) ditto about mots and clothes and life in general on the build up to Xmas :-). I'm pleased with any progress it's sure as he'll better than what we would have done without the challenge so well done and enjoy the new grandchild when it arrives hehe. And everything has got more expensive apart from peoples wages which seem less or the same but one can not complain :-) xx

    !!!!!!. Our car died and we had to get another one. So the £3k we've paid off this year has just been wiped out. Cack. Sometimes it really feels like we'll never get anywhere with this debt :(
