Olympic Countdown aka clear those debts by July 2012!

misswissy

I've waited so long for this! I'm so excited! I am finally making my first payment since joining the thread in early January. I joined just after I'd made my monthly payments so had to wait nearly a full month untill the next payments. But anyway, here it is:

£503.78

And I think I can pay a chunk extra later this month so that'll be a bit more.

Dragon I can't wait to get my first percentage. Thanks so much for all the work you put into this thread. :T

Start of another month, so another £120 off for me please

The_Dragon

Yay some one else up and running! Well done missywissy you have 2.89% paid already :j

The_Dragon

Well done Cloddagh Trubble - that payment takes you to 8.57% of the way there :beer::beer:

Another 162 off for me, bringing my total to 2,714/22,713

A big payment in the next week or so once money transfers to the US! I can't wait - a credit card will be gone!

This is like pulling teeth!!

No sooner do I make a payment, than I find another debt to pay.

Dragon could you add £215 to my total owed please. See my signature for clarification if you need to on my totals.

I changed energy supplier and owed my old one £215. I've made an arrangement to pay over three months so not so bad I guess.

Come on!! Onwards and upwards!!

£260 paid in the last couple of days. This debt repayment lark is so addictive that I couldn't really bear until after the first of the month! so I did loadsa sums
Total repaid so far £2057 or 7.3%

I have been paying cash for everything - I am horriffied by just how much I have spent - nearly £600 in January - mind you that includes my quarterly petrol fill up, haircuts for the whole family and enough meat to see us well into mid Feb
Special Sunday lunch tomorow - trout - yippeeeeee

Because we don't have to pay Council Tax and Water Rates this month I have paid another £168 off debts today.

:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

New totals for me at £1560 paid off - which is 3.27%

Dragon - thank you so so much for this challenge. I was motivated to clear my debts, but this challenge really does give me that extra push and to see the percentage creeping up is awesome. You are a star for all the time spent in following and updating us all:D

Dragon, thanks for adding me and apologies to everyone for having increased the total amount

I've finalised the total debt to pay off by 2012 (excluding mortgage which is going to be waaaay after!) so please update my total to £10,318.78

Good news is I'm aiming to pay off some big chunks this week so I'll keep you posted!

As promised, I am doing and end of the month update. Since I last posted, I have paid in an additional £295.51.
My percentage paid is now 1.7640167% .
I will be doing this monthly from now on - except for the last month when I will post my final total on the eve of the opening ceremony.
I don't expect to hit my original target and never have. However, I reckon that by aiming for it I will pay off more than I expected.
