Ok, well i've subscribed to this thread after massively failing to clear my debt in time for the London Olympics .

Thanks for the new thread The Dragon. I'll return with an up-to-date total of all my debt at some point. But i'll need a wee dram of something medicinal first before facing up to that daunting task!

Glad to see you - sorry I didn't welcome you here before but I have been rusting in Wales!

Transferred over from the Olympics thread - remaining debt is now £3716.86,

Please add me to the list of challengers.

Pay day :j:j:j:j:j:j

I still haven't the nerve to add-up all my debt :eek:, but i made a payment of £32 today to Barclaycard :j leaving £533 to go :eek:.

Will be making more payments this weekend to other creditors, keep them off my back for another month .

Have a fab weekend all :beer:

Start of a new month so I would like to report £397.08 as my starter for 10.

Need to do some snowball calculations to decide where the best place to put the extra payment this month

Have had to scale back additional payments this month due to unexpected house repair bill. However I have set myself a target of making this up via eB sales and am about a quarter of the way there

I have of course made some payments so would like to report another £480.35

I got an unexpected bonus from work so before I could spend it I made 2 additional payments totalling £810 Still working on paying back the household bill money as well and making steady progress with eb sales.

Wow FOS you are doing really well so far you should reach the finishing post in no time at all if you keep that up. For me I would like to report £40 from my total please Dragon. Slowly and surely is how im going but will hopefully get there soon xx

#10...debt is now down to £32,592.35 so I work that out at 5.42% paid. It doesn't seem to have changed much in the last few months. I bought a sofa which has increased the overall debt :eek: However, the method in the madness is that if I stay here for another 2 years (cheap rent/grotty furniture) I'll have more money to pay off the debts so a small splurge on furniture will make my stay here more comfortable. Oh, and I can always take it with me when I have money for a bigger place in a few years :T
