    Cheers Skaps you are a star. :T I was worried about the Dragon so if you do hear please let us all know.

    My update for September, I had a little windfall this month and paid a lump off the debts. Total paid in September £1,005.52

    Total Paid to Date £8,878.10 (33.9%)
    Mortgage
    Start January 2017: $268,012
    Latest balance $266,734
    Reduction: $1,278.45
  • Hello everyone :hello:

    Like Katenut I've fallen off the DFW wagon for the last couple of months. Just spent an hour getting spreadsheets up to date so I can work out where I am (and it's not looking good :eek:).

    I've fallen behind on some payments and need to bring these up-to-date, but haven't included them in my total for this challenge.

    As far as this challenge is concerned I've paid £5708.99 in total which is 13.025%.

    Need to clear the other stuff asap so that this is a true reflection of where I'm actually at!

    Hope everything's okay Dragon. Thank you skaps for taking over the baton - you're a star.:T

  • Hi Everyone - Skaps, thanks so much for taking this on, this has really helped me to get organised.
    My revised starting total should be £6811.80 (could you update my starting figure to this - I am number 93 on the list) and to date I have paid off £731.78 giving me a new total of £6080.02. I should be able to pay off some more in the next couple of days which will take me under £6k - yay!
  • Thank you so much Skaps. Much appreciated.

  • Hi everyone,

    Thanks Skaps for taking up the next stage of this great race, while Dragon is having a breather at the back of the pack. I think one of my trainers has fallen off, so as a result going slowly then hoped. Total Paid to Date £8,989 (35.95%).

    I hope Dragon is ok.

    How depressing, my debt went up by £112.21 last month, my total is now £13496.05 :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    And its all my fault, I succumbed to ordering new clothes from my catalogue. They're on BNPL til next Sept so if I can clear the balance by then at least I'll avoid the interest. Silly silly girl!!! My snowball now shows my DFD as January 2013 - I've got some serious catching up to do!!
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
