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!LBM 03/07 £44k:eek: DFD 31/12/17 :A 12/17 £2545.50
Credit Card £2500.00 & Next £45.00
Savings = £81.21 & Help To Buy ISA = £4700.000 -

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 guys can I join you please I currentley owe £12,984 and thats not including 2 mortgages. I think it may just be possible to pay off the loans by july 2012.
How often do you post updates?0 -
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!)
