    Hi everyone,

    Absolutely fabulous total for the month and crazy amount for ongoing total. Well done what a brilliant effort.

    Number 127 paying
    £20-00 off one debt. This month should be a little better but still struggling to get a job and operation amongst other things. March should be a better month for me so fingers crossed.

    Percentage paid off debt alone so far is 4.8%,
    more than I thought.. I can't wait to get a job and see that debt disappear.

    Off to update signature. It will be nice to see the payments with another integer.

    PAD to date: £1166-22

    Sealed pot challenge 1292: £0 (target £600 by 31-12-11)

  • Just did an interesting experiment because OH is away and I'm bored.... If you take off the totals off people who haven't posted since they first pledged (although they may still come back, I hope so!) then of the active participants we're at £149,149.57/£959,908.90, which is much more on target at 15.5% paid. Just an even more encouraging figure for those of you plugging away!

    That's a very good way to do it dreamdeamer. I think some people get excited because it's a new year and then forget to come back! I still am hoping we can pay off a million between us. What a great motivational thread if we can! We should definitely be thread of the week in Martin's newsletter if we do it.

    Massive standing order went out for 389 odd to pay back ground rent which means money is now pretty low this month already! I can do it!
