    August update -

    My expensive month!!!! have paid the car insurance and recovery on my credit card (£800 in total:() but still paying off as much as i can when i can......

    my total outstanding debt at end of August will be £10930.12 one more payment to make tomorrow......

    #122 total year to date £2371.65/£13301.77 (18%)

    total paid for August: -£651.45

    sorry all for the negative hoping for some BIG payments in the next few months to get this debt moving again......

    Seems like it's been an expensive month for lots of us this one. Hoping we all have a better September!
    Thank you jwill i am slowly getting there :) the negative wealth has taken a back seat, how is your journey :) x

    Glad you are getting there. I'm not doing wonderfully myself with the debt reduction, but keep plodding on :)

    Thanks for the updates everyone.

    I've hit the big 10k today, but most annoyingly, that is how much I've spent this year servicing my debts, not what I've actually reduced it by due to interest and some spending again. I wanted to see this year how much money I'm wasting, and I'm certainly seeing that!

    Oh well, onwards and downwards!

    Still jwil - do celebrate it. 10k is a great amount to reduce any debt by. And all that interest you've paid off will never come back, so it's a very good thing. Well done!
