    Hello Dragon. Please could you change the amount I am to pay back to £8,299.08 please?

    I know this has gone up but this is due to doing a CC balance transfer to another 1% card so there shouldn't be anymore interest to pay now for the duration of the challenge :j

    I will be making a payment tomorrow so my percentage shouldn't be affected too much.

    Thank you!

    Hi Dragon, just popping in to say I've paid £288.52 off my debt (after interest) this month, leaving £15022.12 remaining. Just wish I could find the extra little bit to get it under 15k! Thanks :) x

    Well this is depressing... just redone our snowball and, thanks to a fantastic weekend of vets bills and emergency car repairs, our debt has now gone up again :mad::mad:

    The good news is that, providing we have no more emergency payments to make and stick to the recommended payments, we will be clear by the Olympics :j But, we are going to try and make quite a few overpayments between now and then!

    So, Dragon, sorry to be messing you about with this, especially after you've only just updated all the amounts, but can you please change my total owed to £10,900.68 and my amount paid to £629.35. Hopefully that's the last time anything other than payments made will go up. Thank you :o
    Total debt at LBM... £16,815.02 :eek:
