It is scary when you sit down isn't it! Do you want £4,832.05 to be your target or do you want to do what others are doing and clearing a chunk of the debt off? (and does hubby have to know?!)

Sorry I meant £4,372.05!

welshkaz

Just wanted to say welcome welshkaz and good luck with your debt. This thread is very addictive and is so satisfying to see your totals go down even if it only a couple of £ at a time.
Everyone is in the same boat so at least we are not ashamed and no-one is pointing fingers and going:eek: look forward to hearing from you soon

welshkaz

Too old to be ashamed lol but im 40 in march 2011 and would like to be as debt free as possible by then and then completely free by olympics, to be honest i was spending for the sake of spending i really need nothing but couldnt say no to a bargain crap huh but there you go its a new week in a hour so new start have a fab week all, and im hooked on mse your definetely right its all addictive.

Hi Dragon

Could you change my debt total please, it's actually gone up due to some unforseen expenses last month the overdraft has taken a bit of a hammering and we've had tax and ni to pay from 08/09 that we handn't planned for. Anyway, still making payments but unless I work from the new figure I shall feel I am getting nowhere!

So please can you change my starting figure to £16320 (as of today).

Thanks :A

Another £228 off the total for me please Dragon.

New totals for me are £1788 paid off - so that's 3.75% (near as dammit;))
