    This month, so far, I've managed to clear £316.99 off my total. My new amount outstanding is £25935.80 meaning the total paid so far is £2634.16. I 'd still love to knock the Egg CC on the head by Christmas bu think I'll need to settle for 31st December - guess it would still be great starting a 2011 with one less debt!

    Everyone is doing great, keep it up!

  • Hey guys. Number 7 checking in. I haven't been on this site in a while but i've been busy paying off the debts and have finally gotten to 3 digits woop! So i've now paid £1667.39 and takes my debt down to £999. I'm subbish with % so not sure what it stands at now. Glad this challenge is going to keep running. I do hope Dragon is better soon.

    Keep up the good work all :)

    Hello Purple :wave:

    Was thinking the other week I hadn't seen you for a while. But then I haven't been on the £10 a day challenge for ages so that's probably why.

    Well done on getting to 3 figures. I'm one or two payments away from 4 figures! Jealous...? Of course! But well done you.

    Hi Keelni, welcome to the challenge!! I normally post updates monthly after I've got all my statements, but others prefer to update when they make a payment so its up to you.

    I've paid the pathetically small amount of £111.03 off my total this month - better than last months increase though!

    Skaps, my total paid so far is £2590.21, thanks again for looking after this challenge (I'm number 40 on the list!)
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
