439.86 for me so far this month, can't wait to see what next month will bring as I'll have had a wage rise and can put what used to be my car paymnet towards debts - Yay!! As always, thanks Dragon. It's good to see everyone doing so well, was worried I'd have lost determination but still committed as ever.

Have paid off £357 in April, not as much as I had hoped but at least it gets me off the starting blocks :j

Had a credit card statement, so now that the interest's been added I can add another £32.17 on my total paid. Pay day next week and usual monthly payments will go out. Can't wait to see my total jump up :j

Well done everyone, we can do this

Dragon - hope you're feeling better and getting plenty of rest.

Hi Dragon, can I join in too please? I've been staring at figures all day today and decided to set myself a target of being debt free by August 2012, which is 28 months from now.......but, then, I came across this thread.

Its one month less, but I know I can do it. My total debt at the moment is £22,704.72 (used to over £26k). My loan stands at £21,854.72, and this is a fixed fee that goes out every month. I also owe my DH £850. Once I've paid him back, I'll open an online savings account which I plan to "topup" every month until I have enough to clear the loan early. That would mean I could pay the loan off two years early and be debt free before my 43rd b/day. :j

We now have 100 runners for this Olympic challenge (welcome frugalqueen and Snowdonlily!) and we have paid off a fair chunk of cash between us (7.42% even with new additions!)
