    Hi Folks

    I was just reading over some posts I missed and wanted to say veryone is doing so well. This morning I was thinking there was no chance of me clearing my debt by July 2010 however after reading the posts I feel a bit more chipper about it. Made a few small additional payments today over and above my usual payments but not changing my totals until next lot of statements - I'm easily confused and not good at keeping track so will need to be patient until end of June.

    Anyway keep up the good work folks!

    Hope x

    Hi folks sorry not been around much and not doing much to my totals either however hoping that all changes tomorrow. I start a new job so whilst wont be making payments til the end of the month i am on a better rate of pay so will try and pay more. Everyone else seems to be doing a really good job on making headway with their debts and its motivating me to do the same. Hope everyone has a good week and hope to speak to you all soon xx

    Hi All,

    I have just made another payment off my student loan for £200. Slowly but surely getting there. I make my percentage paid around 17% which is great.

    I can't wait for my tax credit return form. I deliberately did not take my payments this year (I over inflated DH's expected earnings, but in fact he earned considerably less) so I estimate I should have received around £1500 which can come straight off my tax credit debt. Can't wait to declare that one!

    Not normally up at this time by the way. Had to pick DD up from sleepover at 2.30 this morning as she was being sick. She's finally settled on sofa sleeping at last. DH's alarm goes off in half hour so not worth going to bed now.

    Many thanks Dragon for all your hard work on this thread.
