    Hi Dolly rocker I feel I've done not so bad so far(I really had no other choice) but I'm terrified that this month is going to set me back so I'm also looking forward to January so I can get back on track again, think I might sign up for some challenges next year maybe one challenge at a time and see how I go,this website has been a godsend so far. Hope everyone has a cheap and cheerful day ahead of them,I'm off to work soon so should be a LSD.

    Dec 2015 is where I am aiming for as well! Still have a large amount of debt but am overpaying where I can and everything is on the least interest possible.

    I budget on my basic wage and then any overtime/bonuses/instructors allowance gets split 1/3 to overpayment, 1/3 to emergency find savings and 1/3 to those things which make life enjoyable. My sons swimming cass fees or the occasional family meal etc.

    My LBM was 12 months ago and I am just sitting here toting up. How I have done....

    ETA - Have paid back 6170.82 in the last 12 months, in that time we have moved house, kitted out the kitchen, had an amazing MSE holiday (flights were wedding presents and my uncle let us use his apartment rent free for 10 days)

    Feeling quite proud of that right now

    Nationwide Loan [strike]£19000[/strike] now £10114 27/51 £193.46 Overpaid
    Barclaycard 0% b.t. [STRIKE]£8966[/STRIKE] now £7928 4/30

    was £28,738 - now £19254 33% of the way there:j
  • I'm wanting to lose weight too! I'm hoping to shift 3 stone of excess weight and about ten grand of excess debt in 2013! :rotfl:

  • count me in - my estimated DMP debt-free-date is mid 2016 which is too far away. I'm sure with a couple of kicks up the backside and some moral support, I can shave at LEAST 6 months off that
    LBM - Dec 2012 (just under £27,000)
    DMP - Jan 2013 - Aug 2017

    Aiming for DFD of Dec 2015
