    I started on this site Dec last year approx £25,000 in debt, determined to pay it off. Then I lost my job whilst I was on maternity leave. Then OH lost his. We were doomed! We both got jobs again and caught up then OH lost his job AGAIN! UPshot of this is that whilst we have not really made inroads into debt busting, I managed to reclaim £4,200 in bank charges. I am no longer OD at the bank and with the help of this site we have managed what had to have been one of the toughest years we have ever had. OH got a new job yesterday - he starts on 8th Jan so guess what - back to the begining.

    So add the £4,200 to the list and you get £127,734.24P!!!!!

  • I actually make the running total after that last post by sammy115 a running total of:

    756,665.23
    Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
    Sainsburys Loan: Cleared July 2010
    Credit cards: AMEX Airmiles Card: direct debit set to clear balance monthly
  • So over three quarters of a million then!
  • Woohoo!!

    Has Moozie commented on here yet? Come on Moozie, you'll help bump that total up too (if you haven't already!).

    Edit: Oh yes she has...I'll shut up then! :o
    Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.

  • Hi, my light bulb only recently lit up, but I started wearing my debts down last feb. This is a great idea as I just sat and worked out that I paid off £4590 since then. Makes me feel kind of..........well.......a lot better. Merry Christmas
    When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on :wink:
  • So running total is

    This is a brilliant idea for a thread. I've paid of £4884 this year so that makes the total
    £766,139.23
    DMP mutual support number 174
    Total debt now (April 10) £0! - total paid off £30,221 or 100%
    I'm now debt free after 6 years!!:j
