    Psychopathbabble I think it might be unfair to accept a competition if you're not working, but if you fancy the challenge... :p

    Yes it's 38.61% but I'm guessing the maths was just the wrong way round, as Bongle still owes 61% :)

    Hi, yes I did have it as 38.6% until yesterday when I got confused as to which way you guys are reporting it and I changed it round Duh!! :o

    Just one more thing the figure you quote at the front, is that how much left to pay or how much you've paid off? Because mine is how much I've got left to pay, is that right?


    It's how much you have paid followed by how much you owed at the start :) don't worry about the percentages as the fab Jemma can do that!

    We've got quite a few new members recently so thought I'd post this again to help x

    To help me run this thread easily, could you please all post your totals in large text and in a bold colour, i.e.:
    £265.43/£7685.67
    (where the first amount is the total you have paid off so far in this challenge and the second amount is the total you pledged to clear by Xmas 2012.
    It would also be a big help if you could also put with it your challenge number.
    i.e. another £50 paid off so now the total for
    #001 is £315.43/£7685.67
    By the way, don't worry about working out your % paid as I can do that for you!
