    Hi Everyone,
    I'm in again! I was number 306, but I really don't mind what number I have. I will need to calculate my debt again as I was on 93.5% from last year, but the overdraft has crept up again & I've been a bit naughty with Xmas spends.
    I'll post with totals over the next week or so.

    Hi everybody,

    Can you count me in please.

    I finished the DFBX12 achieving 47.38% of my total debt paid :T.

    I'm going to start the new thread with new figures so that the percentage doesn't get confusing.

    The total I would like to repay this year is:

    14300 gbp

    Hi Everyone and Merry Christmas!! :xmastree:

    I'm just sneaking 5 minutes on here whilst the kids play with their pressies and DH starts dinner! We are hosting today so I can't really spend too much time on here but promise faithfully I'll update the front pages as soon as I can!

    Welcome everyone new, welcome over people from DFBX12 and I will do numbers etc. today or tomorrow. Meanwhile, all of you should :beer: and hopefully enjoy a NSD!! :D
