Here's my July total.

Debt reduced by another £437.93 which means I've cleared all debts apart from the mortgage!!!

Total debt reduction £11000/£5000.

I'd now like set a new target so that I can try to reduce my mortgage, which wasn't previously included. May be tough as I still don't really know how much we've got to live on as my former company still haven't returned the form for the mortgage insurance.

So my current mortgage is £61845.60 and I'd like to reduce it by £2000 in the remainder of 2012.

So that should make my overall total debt for 2012 £72845.60.
My new target is £13000

Let's see how that goes!

Congratulations on becoming debt free fastdeb :T :T I'll update your target now

I've had an early scan at 6+2 which was good - strong heartbeat and measuring bang on. Got another one next week when I will be 9 weeks - have had lots of early losses but am now on a special drugs regime which is hopefully going to be the answer for me. Terrified though! Really hope I can see this one through as my seven-year-old DS is super excited already...

Wow, 10+5 - almost out of the danger zone! Good for you. Is this your first?

Hope everything goes well for you sarah. I've got my first scan on Friday. Yes, it's my first and I'm terrified as I have no clue about babies :eek:

Wow was popping on just to update totals, but I see there are a couple of pregnant ladies :T Congrats to Sarah & Jwil :j really happy for you both! I hope the sickness passes soon, I had it with all 3 of mine and was not fun!

My totals have just taken me half way so am behind really on what we should have paid up to now. Totals so far:

Debt 3246/6000 (54%) (to be on target should have paid off 4k by now oh well suppose it's better than nothing!)

Thanks for the congratulations dfw321 and everyone

Welcome back jwil! We've been waiting with baited breath...

jwil

Thanks Sarah

A quiet month for July so we've not quite made the £300,000 mark, but we should smash it this month.

Well done everyone


July - £22,723.46

Running total: £292,143.35, €600

Well done all. I've got some big payments coming up this month (hopefully) so will be doing my bit for Team Pay Off...

Don't know about you Jwil but am now desperate to finish paying off so we can start saving for maternity leave. I'm doing lots of number crunching trying to work out how much I need to save to be able to take the full year (I don't actually want to return to my current job but I'll definitely need to do something).

Hmmm. Mustn't get ahead of myself though. DEbts to pay first and scan tomorrow. Day at a time...

Am going to add my £50 mortgage OP for August here before I forget.

Brilliant July total - we are a great debt busting team!!
