Sadly Lottie - I'm only lurking around the 13% mark...I was helping another DFW Anna celebrate nearly getting there. It'll be a while for me _pale_
I found a group hug for us though :grouphug:0 -

D'oh! Sorry Dizzy - I managed to congratulate Anna after you and totally misread your post - what a muppet! 13% is marvellous though - and while I'm still on 3% 'tis fabulous inspiration for me and everyone to keep plugging away!
If I ever feel low I'm just going to come back to this page and look at that smilie though - it's obscene!! (I love it!) :rotfl:

not much has been done to my debts recently, I may be in a position to pay it all off at the end of the month, but I may hold off and try and smash in my biggest debt with a full and final offer to try and demolish mine and my wifes 19k combined debts...

Quick check in, #156.
No positive changes to my debt but I had cleared one credit card recently. I have now moved my much higher interest card (34.08%) onto my recently cleared card (19.9%) and added a small store card to it (the store card was at 39.9% - OUCH!!!). The small fee for transferring my credit card balance has now been added to my debt but I feel it was worth it in the long run as I will now save a lot in interest (a lot more than the fee costs) and get it cleared quicker. It is also nice to see that my debt will be in only 2 places now rather than scattered around so I am feeling relatively positive about it all now.
Chin up everyoneWe can do this! Im still aiming for my November pay packet to be entirely my own, and have more free money from my October one. Fingers crossed...

#114 Paid off another £1000 today so I'm currently on £7941/£53,416
That's as much as I'll be able to pay for the first quarter of the year as I have alot on this month. Looking at the massive amount of debt it doesn't seem like I'm on track to meet my target but I hope to increase my self employed earnings month by month so each quarter I'll be paying a bit more. I'll also be selling some of my virtual real estate around November to make up any shortfall for the year.
Fingers crossed it'll all work out - this is an accumulation of many, many years of debt and I've never paid hardly anything towards it so this is a massive undertaking for me! No-one to blame but myself unfortunatelyI'm excited to finally be working on getting out of debt though and seeing a tiny light at the end of the tunnel!
