  • Been a while since I've updated - have slowed down with the debt payments in the last few months, and quite possibly won't make it to being debt free by Christmas - however I've paid off 2/3rds of the debt I had at the start of the year.

    Latest figures in signature.
    DEBT FREE!

    Debt free by Xmas 2014: £3555.67/£4805.67 (73.99%)

  • Hi All,
    I realised I've not posted on here since May :cool: so here is my update after added up all the bits and bobs I've paid since -
    no 102 - £1976.69/£8696.48
    not as good as I was hoping far, but like lots of folk life seems to have got in the way a little, especially round school holiday time. A short break for us this year rather than a holiday, but we still spent an inordinately large amount :o, plus both kids needing full school uniform (one starting high school, the other just shot up!) the school uniform alone over £400!
    Oh well, onwards and upwards!
    LBM 1.1.16 = £27096.59 - now £17,020.38

    Paydbx 2017 - £3588.90/£7000 = 51.27% - number 74

    Paydbx 2016 - £6487.31/£7000 = 92.67% - number 74
  • Hi Dolly - sorry I got confused! I'll update that for you. I will update the front page at the weekend, so it'll appear then!
  • OK, #182 signing in and after what has been a very tough financial year which has nearly been the end of me - is it possible to adjust my targets?

    I know im not going to hit 22k, but I have half a chance of attacking and paying off 3 of my smaller debts, totalling another few hundred of payments..

    The debts are:
    Kabbage: £167.52
    HSBC Unplanned O/D: £443.60
    Paypal Negative Balance: £88.16.

    This would give me a total £3426.34 to pay off and mean I am at 79.6%
    £4142.49/ £131,795.91 - 3.14% paid off or only £129,608.80 to go!
    Debt free by Xmas 2015: #182 £1955.38/£4435.51 (44.08%)
    MFW: Opening Balance: £108,297.91 Original MF Date: June 2042
    Current Balance: £106600.27 Estimated MF Date: Dec 2033
    Proud to be dealing with my debts

  • *comes in for a grumble*

    Discovered a carpet beetle infestation tonight. Had an infestation in an old flat 4 years ago. Hate the bleedin' things!
  • Hi Guys, Its been a long time since I have paid you all a visit (March I think :( )


    I have been chipping a way at my debt still.
    I have had lots going on. Recently just started to a new job. Which is paying more money but I don't think I will be able to pay any extra now until next year as I had a little melt down the other month and booked Vegas for Xmas!!! Decided we haven't had a holiday for over 3 years so why not!!!


    Anyway, I had a quick look at the front page!!! Well WOW Isn't everyone doing so well. A MASSIVE congrats to everyone who has made it on to the honour roll list!!:T:beer::j:beer::T


    If you can please up date me No.95 £2572.28/£9611.51
