  • I'm finally expecting to be able to make a payment next week. After my redundancy and starting a new contract my last payday was at the end of July so I'm looking forward to this one!
    Well done on your 50% Gun Wharf, love your positive description of the debt mountain. Sorry to hear about the carpet beetles, must catch up on the rest on here - can't believe we're into Autumn already, I still feel like it should be summer.

    I paid another £101 off on my MBNA card so my total is now £999. Looks much better when there is only 3 digits instead of 4.

    Totals now are £3589.90/£4588.90 78.23%

    An expensive September paying for holidays so not as much paid off the debt, however £230 has gone towards it today meaning that I can finally join the half-way club!

    #163: £4634/9141 (50%)

    Actually my total has changed a little from the above due to a new debt which I haven't included (tax credit overpayment) and I've also had a debt written off! (bank of mum and dad).

    I've decided to factor all this in at the end of the year to come up with the new total to clear in 2015. Should be around 4K.

    Well done to everyone else, we're getting there :T
    Starting 2016 debt-free :D
    Emergency Fund: £350/£1000

    Only counting down to the paydays that matter. Once you debt is gone you can enjoy waiting for those paydays knowing there is money in the savings :)
