Hi

I'm really confused by the percentages on page 1 and total debt! Have used my calculator but can't work it out! Can anyone advise me what the figures represent?

Thanks!

The percentage next to each persons total should represent how much of their total debt they have paid off.

Basically devide 100 by the total debt amount and multiply by the amount paid off, this should then come up with the percentage that Jemma has posted

Afternoon,

Well, thanks to the balls up wth the Halifax, I've ended up paying an extra £50 to my debt! So my new new total is (:p)

Member #27 £1480.19/£22,922.39 (7.88%)

Oompa it should be the amount paid off your total debt so far.

Do you have your figures to hand to recheck them?

Thanks! I have paid £1319.20 since Jan, my total is £14185 excluding student loan (this is just under 30K and currently coming off my pay, I'm not including this as I think I'd faint if I thought I had to tackle this too!! Also, the other debt is more urgent, such as credit cards). Could I be added to the thread please? I'm trying to diet too - aiming for 28lbs @ least @ the mo!

Oh and £1000 of this was GCU loan, thus added onto total debt - won't be able to pay off over £500 each month of 2012!

Ok Muf) will pop along tonight to give you a figure, welcome to the group. Everytime you want to update do as Green saints has done above and make it large and in a different colour.

This way Muf0 can easily update your total.

A great start so far. Have you seen Kerri weekly challenge? Keeps us all on our toes.

Ah thanks for that I saw it mentioned, but can't find the thread from the info on the first page of this thread.

Oh and I wonder if anyone knows how I can update my signature? It's years old as I've been off the site for a while. Would be great if someone could help! :-)

Just under the red banner thing at the top is user cp, click then edit signature.

Kerri weekly challenges normally come out on a Sunday/ Saturday.

This week is grow your herbs.

Morning everyone.





I can get the fridge and washer from my catalogue on 0% for 12 months, but am also looking at getting them 2nd hand? What are people's thoughts on this???

Anyway, the long and short of it is it feels almost inevitable that the debt totals are going to go up and the debt payments down

Any ideas or advice on how to do any of the above very much appreciated? :o

Enough about me though......well done to all of the debt busters :T:T and hugs to those that need them.

I brought a £500 electric cooker when we moved in here 10 years ago from the catalogue and it only lasted 14 months before it broke down & it wasn't viable to repair it. So we looked at getting a 2nd hand one from a shop that deals with washing machines, dryers etc.. anyway that same electric oven that we brought from them for £180 is still going 8.5 years later!!! So for me personally 2nd hand everyti:)me, if you buy from one of these shops them you get a small guarantee and the cooker was spotless. Good luck with your move hun xxx

hi everyone. i dont post very often but i read everday.

ive been paid today and ive immediately paid off £450. so my new total is

no 78 affordmylife £900/£4500. 20% woo hoo!!

im absolutely thrilled to be in track. will be super frugal all month and hopefully hit 30% next month.

hubby and i have a new project which is to be mortgage free so as soon as this debt is gone thats where my cash is going.

also today i have applied to a second job in a local store. only 8 hrs a week but it will really boost the repayments if i get it.

happy debt busting one and all xx
