    Time for an update:

    Started this diary in September 2010 (really doesn't seem that long ago) with a total debt of
    £6292.70. Had previously paid off in the region of [STRIKE]£3000[/STRIKE] on credit cards/ payday loans.

    Cleared car finance in March 11. So [STRIKE]£1732.70[/STRIKE] paid off in 6 months

    The rest of the debt was owed to a personal friend as of September was £4560

    As of today - 2nd June 2011 the total stands at £2681.92

    So have paid off [STRIKE]£1878.08[/STRIKE] in 10 months

    In the ten months since I started my df diary I have paid [STRIKE]£3610.78[/STRIKE]

    Average per month £362 - using this average it will be 7 months to pay off the rest. But I can do better than that :j The end is in sight!:beer:

    This site has been an absolutely life changingly massive help on my journey and I have ingrained myself completely in the MSE way. I am confident that when these lingering amounts are cleared I will move forward more positively knowing that I am part of this community :A

    Happy June everyone!

    well done on turning our finances around. are these debts all yours, or does your partner contribute?

    Just thought I would give you a pat on the back

    awww, thank you chev. No, all mine I'm afraid. I'm going to start giving my partner some money towards his loan when I am all clear because we used some of that money for the deposit on our house and household stuff. That way we are pretty much square.

    Thanks for popping by :wave:
