Just paid £8.62 off Barclaycard bill so new figures are:
152 £283.62 / £12,0000 -
No update to my figures yet but I just wrote down all my debts all the payments I will be making monthly & my final payments will be made 1st December 2012!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully I can maybe knock a wee month or 2 off of this but I dont want to be completely housebound while I do it so maybe will just leave it at that

Hi,
I have now paid 5,577 of my debts.
So 5,577/22,867 = 24.39%
Yay - that bit was easy using bonus and backdated payrise. Next 17k will be harder but am hopeful for 2012....!
Thanks

Well £13,500 is a little bit inaccurate but it is within £300 of that as final figure, once interest is on etc.
£405.39 out today to loan,another £300 ish out early January. Looking to try and pay this all off by the end of June 2012, nevermind xmas....however xmas is alot more realistic! If i can pay this off in 6 months il be able to save it in the last 6 months of the year aswel...great feat.Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.
