    Woohoo, look over your shoulder, I am right behind you. :p

    In July I paid £983.74 and have 'just' £1,008.79 to go. I still have more outstanding that I have managed to pay in any previous month, but heck I am putting a sprint on and determined the last bit will be gone by the end of this month.

    You have less than 4% to go :j:j:j

    Right - am here! #8 reporting for duty, and declaring that we have debts of £7935.66 to clear by the olympics. This sadly doesn't include our loan, but we're aiming to get that paid by summer 2013 instead.

    It's been a weird old time over the past year - I've had an operation, hubby has been injured, I've moved jobs, we've had a lot of work done on our house, but I honestly think if we pull our socks up, we'll be ok. Might even start a diary.....

    I'm going to need a fair amount of motivation - will you help?

    We are here for you - as soon as your first payment is made you will start seeing those percentage paid numbers going up and that is a great motivator!
