Ok, my final total for 2012 is more than it should be, but I'm getting ready to get back on it after Christmas! Am slowly persuading Mr S to also listen to me when I say we can't afford things in order to do other things!
So, reporting for DFBX12 one last time and signing up for DBFX13 (new or old number don't mind):
#068 4629.07/6492.82 (71.3%)
Starting figure for DFBX13 = £1863.75
Merry Christmas to all of you! Everyone has done some fantastic work paying off debt. Thanks Jemma for running the thread and I hope you feel better very soon.
PS Thanks to Spag Bol for starting the new thread.
PPS Just got another cheque for £72 from a miscalculation of my PPI 0 -
Hi SpagBol!
I'm staying in! Is it ok if I carry my totals over from the 2012 thread?
£6,959.40/£16,660.26, 41.77%
I was #077 but don't mind whether I keep it or get a new one - whatever is easiest for you.
Hoping to be clear before Easter (actually, by 25th March
)
Thanks again Spagbol, and to Jemma for the 2012 challenge
