    Happy Easter all, we must be edging towards the 100th contender.

    Well done to all those of you who kicked some debts in the month, it brings a big smile to my face thinking of you all being so happy to see them gone. :j

    Myself I had a few extra hurdles in March: a punctured tyre and a new washing machine got in my way and means I didn't pay off as much as I would have liked. Still that's life and at least I didn't get into further debt to pay for them. :T

    March Paid £250.40

    Total Paid £2,461.52
    New Balance £23,698.48


    Thanks Dragon and hope you had a good break.

    Hi Dragon and fellow Olympians,

    Have not updated since January but have been reading the forum daily!
    Nonetheless I am pleased to say that since then I have made a payment of £4262.48
    My debt is now £14,093.66 from £19,161.04
    Could you update my total please Dragon? Many thanks in advance

    Next month or two will be tricky as have Buildings/Content Insurance + Car Insurance + Service + Road Tax to pay!!! And a couple of weddings to go to!

    Keep up the good work everyone!
