    Round about £3,700 this year, making it up to £232,239.75 :)
  • We managed to reduce our debt by £9850.90 in 2012, guess we actually made payments of more than that because of interest/balance transfer fees but I'm most interested in what my debt was on 31st December 2012 compared to 31st December 2011, so this is where my figure comes from :)

    Running total therefore £242,090.65! Wowzers!
