    My new total is now £10,466.68 which is 16.17% or £2019.39 paid off. Checked my snowball and if I pay £480 a month then I will pay off my debt by the Olympics. At the moment I am paying £300 off a month. Will look into getting new 0% deals once I run out of my current ones. This way I will hopefully be able to be debt free by the Olympics.

    Hello Everyone

    Just wanted to check in and say hi. I've haven't made any payments for July and August due to unforseen expenses and drastic drop in income. Had a scare with DH's health so he's been off work and doesn't get sick pay. I hope to rejoin you all again soon. I always keep up with the thread though, so keep up with all the fab debt payments.

    Amethyst68 - welcome to the challenge!

    Misswissy - hope DH is ok and you get back on track soon :)

    Dragon - I've paid off £485.19 this month, leaving me with £13383.84 remaining. Paid off two credit cards this month (apart from any interest still to be added) so finally feel like I'm making progress! The next one is the scarily huge catalogue bill, could take me a while :eek::eek::eek:
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
