    If your number 4 key has both the $ and € signs, then it's ctrl-alt-4 to make the € symbol.

    Yes it does, but for some reason whenever I type in a € symbol, it automatically converts it to a £ symbol - computers huh, can't live with them, can't live without!

    Toomuchdebt you're number 165 - thanks for your patience! I'll take updates whenever you want, I don't really mind. I'd rather you paid something off than stored it up to pay later and accidentily spend it!

    Thank you-I will update each time I make a payment and I apologise in advance if it's lots of piddly little amounts but it really helps :)

    I'm £80 away from paying off £1,000 off this year, the vast majority of which is payments of £40-£50 at a time. It all builds up.

    It took me a little while to figure out whether that was a joke or an actual type of excel :rotfl: Feeling very slow tonight...

    Finally after 8 long years we have paid off our debts totalling £52,500. :eek: Received mail from Stepchange confirming that we are debt free. Can't stop crying at the moment and so relieved :D

    For everyone that is still going through it, you will pay it off, every little bit that you can pay helps get nearer your goal. Without this thread and another very important thread that I joined 4 or more years ago and made lifelong friends from, we couldn't have done it.

    Through it all, I haven't had a job that pays regularly and I am so looking forward, now DD is nearly mobile with her car, to getting a full time job and saving. Yes saving, us that have never been able to save for the past 20 years! Looking forward to having a few days holiday for the first time in 6 years.

    Good luck everyone in your journey xxxx

    027 paid £2,500

    Congratulations TRYING HARD, another inspiring story and a fantastic achievement x

  • Forgive me fathers and mothers, for I have sinned. :(Last month was a nightmare, and I ended up having to transfer £350 off a credit card to keep us going. I've adjusted our budget a little and reduced the amount we are snowballing, as there's no point killing ourselves to clear this a month or two earlier, so our DFD has gone back to the end of 2016. I'm okay about it, it's one of those things really and we always said we wouldn't make the kids suffer for our mistakes. Anyway, onwards and upwards!
