  • Hi

    Well done to everyone for the way your debts are reducing.

  • Hi everybody.

    Sorry I haven't been around (work's a bit of a nightmare at the moment).

    I've got a bit lost with what I've updated, so I've just added up everything I've paid since the challenge started - I hope that's okay with you, Dragon.

    Since the start of the challenge I've paid £1575.42.

    Dragon, can you also amend my starting balance up by £1 (to £43, 968.06) - I miscalcuated somewhere along the line (I blame the brandy!).

    Thanks for all your hard work, Dragon, and well done everyone.

    Hi everyone

    You are all doing so well :T.

    I have finally made a start :j. My first DMP payment has just left my bank account and it was for £687.

    I am hoping to be able to save for some F&F offers soon as I have now moved to my new flat and basically have all the furniture I need now. However, I will just count my monthly DMP payment until any F&F offers have been accepted and gone through :D.

    Finally, thank you to The Dragon for keeping the totals and doing such a great job with this thread :A.

  • Just caught up with the thread. Nothing more to report for myself, but I'm really taking inspiration with everyone's determination. Aren't we great!
