    Yay runmichellerun - first payment off the amount which means you have cleared 3.11% of your target and 0.11% of the total :beer::beer:

    Thank you

    I like reading it in percentage terms. Doesn't make it seem like such a huge amount somehow!

    Thank you

    I thought people might like to see a running total of "we've hit 10% paid" and that type of thing :D, also it can help to realise that you have hit say 25% of your personal target!

    Good idea, good long stretch of time too. Our DMP is due to finish in 2015 but we'd like to make it sooner. I'm in, can't promise I'll be posting regularly through but will try. Gotta give it a go.

    Hi everyone

    I would love to join in please. I have another big debt :o. It currently stands at £33,251 :eek:.

    I am about to start a DMP with CCCS who reckon that it will take me 4 years to pay it off so I have to cut around 18 months off that. I am hoping that F&Fs will play a big part of that as most of my accounts are with DCAs now.

    Here's to 2012 :beer:

    Nice to see you Gemmzie and Emily and welcome to the clan! I've added you and your amounts to the starting post - this does mean the amount paid so far has dropped percentage wise - but it does also mean that we are clearing a lot more debt off - so go us!
