    Hi hope everyone is ok today its cold, very wet and miserable here today but i have walked dog, been to asda and done a load of washing so not too bad. Dragon when you are about can you please take £336.62 from my total please xx
  • Hi all

    Haven't logged into the challenge for some time as debt payments haven't exactly been enormous...but today's total is £14,079. So I think that's £2241 paid off so far. I am hoping to pay some more off later in the month to get under the £14k mark but don't want to do my usual thing of leaving us short by trying to pay too much off now! Positive news, I start a p/t job tonight which I hope will help, although we have a couple of big expenses coming up that some of the money will have to be saved towards (when isn't there something to get in the way??).

  • During September I paid £1,199.40 towards my debts.
    That's a percentage so far of 26.8103667% .

    Is this thread still actually happening as I've not seen Dragon around for ages?
  • Dragon's last post was 6th August. Almost 2 months ago now! Any ideas what we should do? Start a new thread? Sit it out and wait for her to return?

    Good idea Skaps - can you message her? This is my favourite challenge, I'd love to keep it going, if Dragon can't do it then I'm sure one of us could do it :)
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
