    my debt was never an exact science, that's what got me into the mess in the first place but i estimate in 2009 i paid off the last £1750 to become debt free for the first time since 1992........

    new total

    £1, 111, 836.68
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
    (it's part of my charm!)

  • I'm usually a lurker but I can't resist this one. In 2009 I paid off £10200.17 :j. Just about another £10k to go which I hope to clear by August/September 2010. Down from an original amount of around £28k in August 2008 :eek:.

    I think the running total is therefore...

    £1,122,036.85
    LBM Aug 2008: £22k loans, £5k O/D, £1k C/C :eek:
    [STRIKE]Jan 2009: £20k to go[/STRIKE]... [STRIKE]Jan 2010: £10k to go[/STRIKE]... [STRIKE]May 2010: £4.5k to go...[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]July 2010: £2.8k to go[/STRIKE]...
    [STRIKE]Estimated DFD September 2010[/STRIKE] DFD October 2010....yippeeeeeee!!!!!!!! :j
    :heart2::heart2: Forever in debt to: MSE

  • Hey,

    We have paid:
    Loan 1: 2880
    Loan 2: 2040 (now cleared!)
    Credit Card: About 4000 (now cleared!)
    Store Card: 250 (now cleared!)
    And DH OD: 1500 (now cleared!)
    TOTAL:10670

    Didnt realise it was so much in one year :T
