    okay I think I am all up to date again (and I hope the good weather stays so I can keep on top of it!), new members are added, amounts in-put and this is how we stand (along with the current leaders!)

    3. oreo7504 - 47.17% :beer:

    29. Paulgonnabedebtfree - paid £7,574.25 :j

    Total to pay at start - £1,506,558.28
    Total paid to date - £69,731.65
    Percentage paid = 4.63%
    :A

    We are creeping close to 5% paid off as a total group - not bad going for 2 months in!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Evening everyone! I raided my BCF jar, my loose change jar and my £2 savings and have used the savings to pay the balance on one card :T Unforunately I had to pay using thy same card last week so while the balance for this month is cleared my statement next month will not be :( At least no interest though!

    So my total paid to date: £564.35

    Now I need to rejig my totals to account for new transactions I made on those dreaded cards and cry quietly in a corner! Kidding, they are minor spends :D
    Total debt at LBM... £16,815.02 :eek:

    Been waiting very impatiently for today so I could update my totals.

    Welcome to all the new people and huge congratulations to those who have already managed to zap some debts on the head. :T

    Imagine that?: £1.5 million of debt between us. :eek:
    Mortgage
    Start January 2017: $268,012
    Latest balance $266,734

    just some advice please - I used £10 voucher in tesco yesterday - so does that mean i should go online and make an extra CC payment for it like NOW so its done or should I keep a mental note and add it to whatever extra I pay at the end of the month. also when I total these figures do I need to include my minimum payments and then add on the interest...........aghhhhhh it all gets so complicated when ur blonde???

    Hi - mortgage payment went today, so my revised total paid to date as of today is £996.68 before the daily interest starts to go on (works out at just under £20 a day!)
    Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP
    (Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)
