  • Hello!

    Just dropping in with my weekly report! So far I have paid £1,585 towards my debts!

    My focus for February is not to spend... money is tighter in Fen than January so I won't get to pay lots towards my debt and I want to spend the bare minimum.


    Well done everyone... we'll all get there! :D
  • I have paid £138 paid off towards my debts today. Hopefully more to come next week!

    Many thanks for all the updates - I think I now have everything straight on the first post (but can people just have a quick check! When my computer crashed a few days ago I may have lost some information)

    Almost one month in and we have paid off 2.38% already!

    bloodofareptile is still in the lead with monies paid off BUT NoDebtDiva has taken the lead in the percentage race!

    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Good evening all!

    Dragon thanks for updating my total debt... it's great to finally get the full total down somewhere so I know what I'm aiming for!

    First payment of the challenge for me today, £50.13. Looking forward to some more payments this week but for now, it's a start!

    Well done to everyone else for all your payments, and Dragon thank you for this challenge. It's real motivation to me knowing others are working on the same thing! And, knowing there's a joint total to bring down is an added incentive for me to help out by paying off my share! :D
    Total debt at LBM... £16,815.02 :eek:

    Hi Dragon, Hi guys,

    just a quick update: My starting figure was £24,984.81. After a months worth of payments my new figure is... £24,005.72

    (Not all THAT bad, considering I was charged £523 in interest this month. Hope to get that down to less than £500 next month!)

    Keep up the good work guys!
