Positives are...under 10k, debt has halved from it's highest point of £19,800 in July 2009 and we stayed in the black for the whole of November (can't remember when this last happened
).
:T:T:T for being sub £10k AND for staying out of the overdraft!
I paid another £100 off today so my debt is creeping downwards again as well

Have been missing in action for a few well erm months but am well and truly back in action. I have managed (after it climbing up) to cut my debt and am back refocussed.
So here is number 22 checking in - I've paid a total of 4629 out of 28569.96
Chuffed though as this includes having a fab holiday booked to NYC for New Year and none of it on the CCs

Morning!
Apologies Dragon realise I keep calling myself #86 when I'm really #87.
Anywho, #87 total paid £12161. There is still a week to go, but I've set aside this money so will definitely be that much.

Hi Dragon and rest of the runners! No #40 here!
Haven't checked in for ages but been paying off what we can, helped by DH inheiriting a lump sum and paying off all of his part of our debt (the high interest bits!) in one fell swoop - yay!! Can concentrate on my lower interest stuff now.
So, total paid so far is £7775.96/£15975.23, nearly halfway there. Won't all be paid off before the Olympics but we will be a long way there :j:j:jTrying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:0 -
