    Wow some great payments on here :beer:...my 1st of the month update is a total of £9815 so £6505 paid since the start of the challenge (no 32). 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 :o).

    :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 :D

    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

    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 = £4700.00
  • Loan payment came out today, so new total paid for no.52 is £11766.58/£12643.27.
    HSBC Credit Card £608.69, HSBC Overdraft: £4123.67, HSBC Loan: £8,270.69
    Lloyds Credit Card: £1418.62, Very Account: £518.99, Barclaycard: £126
    Total Debt as of 9th June 2020: £15066.66
  • 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:j
    Trying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:
