That's a good point, quite a few people have reached their targets now, but there are a lot of people who haven't updated at all for a while, so hopefully they'll pop back before the end of the year.

Hi Jwil and everyone else who is doing so well on here. :T

I haven't just had a bad month, I've had a bad year. So at the moment, I have actually increased my debt since the start of the year. :o:o

However, I am now back on track and by the end of the year I will have paid off something more, though not the £10000 I had optimistically aimed for. Leave my current total on there though, it gives me an incentive and I will increase that total-paid-off by the end of 2011.

I promise I will do better in 2012 and a big well done to everyone who is doing so brilliantly paying off their debts. You're an inspiration. :beer:

Just a quick update before housework - bleurgh!

LAM - big hugs to you, i am so very sorry to hear you sad news, take care of yourself x

Wow - to all those who paid off a huge amount - and also those who've paid off a bit

peaceandfreedom - i think we've all had things happen where our debts have increased but then we just re-focus so its not just you in this position. I too will be here in 2012. Today will be the joys of e-bay - after housework and hairdresser. Have sold a couple of bits i listed so it does give me a bit of an oomph!

My total - majority overpayments are from taking out my short-term savings and overtime - never again after the amount of hours i did and tyhe paltry amount this then equated to after tax :mad: Oh, i probably didn't put it on here i had a huge bill to pay off - several thousand pounds - i had the majority of it but struggled with the final £2000 but then got a letter saying it had to be paid and got it done within the week :eek::eek::eek: Raised money by maxing out the overdraft, using overtime money that had been intended towards a different bill and withdrawing short term savings

Total £4881.32/10,000

HI jwil and everyone else,

I have not updated this month yet as my figure has not changed . Its been a bad one for me - I lost my young horse last Friday which incurred some vet bills, my tenant has not paid the full rent due to problems and has promised they are sorting it and I have felt to low to even be bothered to do my usual scraping and selling and surveys.

Will bounce back soon though.

Well done to those that have managed a good month, they are always a good feeling :T

Aww that's awful, sorry to hear that. Hope things get better soon Lam
