    Thanks for the payments through folks - we are creeping up the percentage and the total paid - go us!!

    I reckon these will jump up at the start of April as people do their end of month payments :p - speaking of which I am away for the Easter weekend so I will clear down my Private messages area just in case you want to send amounts to there OR wait until I am back and I will do a HUGE update comprising Thursday 31st March to Tuesday 6th April inclusive :eek:

    Okay I have been trying to go through and make sure that everything is up to date (had a power loss on my computer and lost some information) - can everyone PLEASE check their amounts on the first post as I want to be sure we are all up to date!

    Have a good break Dragon, the long bank holiday weekend is always a good one. I have checked my amount and it is right.

    I've been trying hard to clear my debts. Partial success and then something unexpected crops up and oops I go backwards a bit :(

    Having been inspired and seen how you are all helping each other along I decided I had to join in and hope for the best.

    Not taking my CC out with me any more from today.

    Good to see you lel3636, I'll get your Olympic Vest number sorted out in a minute :D, are you trying to clear everything in your signature or just a portion of it?

    Hi Dragon, thanks for the warm welcome. I would dearly love to clear it all. I've managed to get the Santander and MBNA down a lot already, its the Tesco one thats suffered.

    No excuses really, have bought when in reality I could have done without (or the kids of 18 and 21 could have done without!). I've given myself a good talking to and have been looking at the Frugal Living challenge and am coming up with some sketchy plans ;)
