  • Hi all - internet bank has now been updated with this month's payment and overpayments. Our revised total paid off is £2,115.41 which is quite depressing really. We're paying almost £20 a day in interest!

    Hi all, my total has gone up slightly due to some purchases so although I have made my payments this month, my totals are still the same, boo! Roll on next pay-day!

    I echo that thank goodness it's payday feeling - just had one and now I'm waiting for the next one. Also can't get my snowball date anywhere near what it needs to be at the moment, but there's plenty of time and we're all still in the race :D

    This month's payments have gone out so that's another £703.94 on my total paid. Dragon, if you don't mind, can you reduce my starting total by £137.60 (I miscalculated :j).

    Keep going everyone.

    I know I am a bit late starting this challenge, but I think I really need to join you guys and gals and clear my debt before it clears me :rotfl:

    I have approx £35,000 in non mortgage debt and I would like to clear this by July 2012 if I can.

    I hope that by posting like the rest of you on here it may give me the motivation to pay something even if its only a small amount.

    Oooh - lots of dancing rodents on getting engaged! That's a good reason for debt free date being pushed back a smidge :D
