  • Hiya

    If it's not too much trouble Jwil, could I up the total I'd like to pay off during the year. I'd like to be abe to pay off at least half of my debt I had at my LBM, and want it to be a challenge. I know I can reach £16k easily because of the insurance payout we've already had this month. So as I want it to be a challenge, can I change my totals to £7635.44/£21000. Thanks, and well done everyone for fantastic January payments. Will see you at beginning of Feb, when our loan payments come out xx

    Well I checked money stuff tonight and I should have plenty left over this month to cover this, so I figure it's better to send it over now and remove the possibility to spend it on junk! Sent another £70.70 CC-ward - round numbers are so much nicer right?! :D Soooo:

    £435/£3435

    Can't wait for payday tomorrow so I can get some more big chunks paid off!

    Thank you jwil for starting this thread, its inspirational to see how well everyone is doing and seeing the paid totals shooting up and the debt totals coming down.
