Hi all - well done everyone. Number 19 reporting in for august if its not too late! Only actually brought the total down by £254 so new total is £7,639/£14798.

I did pay £1000 off my credit card but as per my signature the credit card is just £3,500 whereas it is actually £4,700. I hope this makes sense. Too much spending but at least it was interest free.

My credit card is now £3,700 so hopefully in september can do another £1,000 to get £800 off my signature.

I'll add it on to September now. I count everything posted by midnight on the last day of the month, then anything later to the next month.

You can give us a bump start for September

Just paid off Amex card (£163.71), its the one i use for petrol/food etc and am meant to pay off but rarely do and £20 off my Barclaycard so that's £3237.94/£6842.49. More excitingly I have paid off £4000 off debt since April 2010 and am for the first time under the £4500 mark:jThe numbers ie what I still owe and what Ive still got left to pay according to the challenge dont quite add up- about £880 difference but I'll update my target if I ever reach it...if not there be a little bit to shift next year...

No.83 here, I thought I had paid off all I could this month but a direct debit came out on a card when it had already been paid off, so another £47.58 paid off. New total is £2170.53/£2400.

hi there, really sorry I was unable to meet any payments before the Aug deadline BUT I have now managed to get some of my rent arrears off my tenant and have not only paid off the extra I had due to vets bills etc but I have also managed a bit more.

My new total at the moment is
£ 5,156 / £ 10,206.

I am hoping by the end of the month to aim for at least £5,500. Probably not going to make my target this year but going to try and get as much as can paid off. Without this forum and this thread I would never have had the motivation to do this much and I cant believe what I have achieved this year since joining here.

Another 18 days for me, affordmylife. Hopefully I can concentrate on the countdown instead of spending anything.

Oh! and 119 days left for the challenge, everyone!
