    As we have had new members joining (waves at them again!) our overall total to pay off has gone up and the percentage paid is staying around the 11% mark, do we think we can have a bit of a push and get the percentage paid off over 12% before the end of January?

    Total to pay at start - £2,298,048.48
    Total paid to date - £253,958.95
    Percentage paid = 11.05 %

    My new total paid off is £9255, only £6000 left on a loan, am saving up to pay this off, so won't be able to update now until its all gone! :beer:
    Have a great 2011 everyone
    Debt free 11/05/11!

    Savings £4000/ £300
  • Well 2011 is already biting as we have learnt that we have to take a further large cut in our income taking us to less than half the income we had when we racked up the debts in the first place :eek:

    Thank goodness I found MSE or else we would have been in deep doo doo. It does mean just living will be a challenge let alone paying off debts but I am determined to pay the minimum payments on my debts I have never defaulted and don't intend to do so now. So in that vein I have paid off £88.44 of my debt today (No. 127) I am not going to change my targets because who knows what is round the corner and we are due some good fortune on the law of averages so I will leave the challenge as it is with a positive request to the universe for some inflow of cash from somewhere.
