#107 here just saying hi and keep going guys, you're all doing well, don't lose faith or motivation, even 1p at debt is 1p the right way!
I won't have much of an update until July (urgh) but that is only because I'm planning to throw a £3500 lump sum back to my parents then to fully pay off the money they lent me and it will be sooo good at that point to only have my Sainsburys loan left wooO! Keep on keeeping on! This is fun

Hi redbooties, can you please let me know what you've paid off instead of balance remaining? This is how the spreadsheet is set up, and I am afraid I can't work this out on behalf of people.#174 Good afternoon all from the South Coast!
Hope you are all ok.
£25 Over payment to Credit card 3 today
Balance below in Signature.
Hi Gunwharf, can you let me know your cumulative amounts rather than individual payments - I don't add this up on behalf of people, as it's easy for me to miss something or make a mistake somewhere.Determined_diva wrote: »Hi all,
Unfortuantely my cc debt has gone up due to a HUMONGOUS dental bill that I have mentioned since last October on here.
Going to use the 2nd job money to chip away at it and keep my main job money chucked towards the debt. I use the 2nd job money for life things, so it means it will be a lot of not spending going on now. Once thats been paid off, the 2nd job money will be used to build up an emergency fund.
So £35 paid off today =
£1,935.70/£9,888.44 (16.4%)
DD - sorry, I'm a bit confused here, just want to make sure I have it right. On my spreadsheet your target is £10,843.05 by Christmas, do you want to change this to £9,888.44? I don't get 16.4% if I use either total, so can't figure it out...0 -

I should be able to clear these debts when I am paid at the end of April. This would then only leave one remaining debt which is from the Bank of Mum and if I keep up the current momentum should be able to pay off everything that I owe her by the end of the year. It is amazing to think that by 2015 I could actually be completely debt free. That will be time for a real celebration although I am planning a mini one once by DMP is completed!
Absolutely have a mini celebration when you pay of the DMP - it's a massive milestone!0 -

Minicooper just needs to know
(amount you have paid off to date) / (total amount of starting debt)
so yours would be
£5,051 / £27,8900 -

Hi Gunwharf - I need to know how much you've paid (i.e. 27,890-22,839=?) It sounds simple, but if I have to work this out for everyone, it would take me forever!
