    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?

    Hello michelle, skaps and everyone.

    I think everyone is concerned about the whereabouts of Dragon and the future of the thread, however, we cannot know what problems she may be having and I don't feel comfortable starting a new thread.

    That said, I think we need to do something to keep everyone's motivation going. This challenge is very important to me in my quest to become debt free and its probably just as important to other members out there. As a suggestion, how about one of us, copy and paste the info from Dragon's first post into the next new post and then that same person update that post with everyone's updates. (Can that be done?) It is a time consuming task so the best person will be someone who has the time (and motivation) to do this. Perhaps we could all put a note in our signatures of the post number so everyone will see it.

    As soon as Dragon feels she can return, she can take over again.

    If you read this Dragon, I really hope you are ok and that you come back to us soon. :)

    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 :)

    Crossed posts katenut, I totally agree. :)

    Fantastic idea Missywissy, it would keep the thread going (I'd hate to have to desert this one!). I'd love to volunteer but I'm not sure I'd have the time to keep up at the minute, tho if no-one else is willing I could do it.
    Worrying that Dragon has been absent for so long :(
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:

    Great idea - I don't mind doing it wont be able to update daily but will try and do it every couple of days

    I have just messaged Dragon so will start making a chart until I hear otherwise.

    :TThat's fab Skaps. I could only commit to updating once a week really and will (hopefully) complete my challenge early. But if you find it too much after a few weeks me or katenut or someone could take over for a little while to give you a breather.

    By the way, I'm totally in awe of your almost 22000 situps!

    That fantastic Skaps - like Misswissy said, we could take it in turns if that would help?

    My amount paid off so far is £2591.39 (only up to end of Aug, haven't dared work out Sept totals as we fell off the DFW wagon a bit - I need this challenge to keep me on the straight and narrow!)

    Keep going everyone, and thanks to Skaps for taking on the difficult maths bit! :) xx

    Welcome to chrisfreelander54 (118) applecider (119) to the challenge.

    I think I have managed to update the post on 1128 now. If there are any mistakes please let me know. I have not calculated the total debt or the total owing. If anyone would like to do this and then message me I can add it to the post.
