Beanie - Each number represents £100 I have left on the loan. I'm trying to break it down into chunks of £100 to make it seem more manageable.

If you're reading this thread thinking "everyone's doing do well, I must be the only one who hasn't started" take heart... Neither have I.
So far I've got advice from a charity and hopefully I am going to be put on a scheme that matches my payments to the water arrears pound for pound. I'm waiting on a reply from the charity about that though. So my 100-day challenge has so far varied the amount I owe by a big fat zero.
Just posting this as a bit of consolation for anyone sat there thinking they're the only one getting nowehere... Nope I'm right back on the starting blocks still too.I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
(Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)
As of the last count I have cleared [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt.
