    Hi, #47 reporting in. No extras paid this month. Only the amounts set up as direct debits. So to date I have paid off £3,889.59.
    I will need to readjust my debt total soon but can't face it right now.
    I don't think June will be much better either, I have a holiday to pay for.
    Will stick at it though. If I take a positive view, I am 4k less in debt than in January, the increase in debt was mostly unavoidable due to miscalculation by tax credits.
    Good luck everyone, you are all so lovely here, it's a great thread.

    Bloody nora, guys. That's been a busy few days! We've SMASHED last years May total by over 41%, after looking like we were simply going to match it all month. So, the grand total for May was...

    £52,887.05

    :T:T:T:T

    We're not far off a MAJOR landmark in the history of this thread, which we should reach in a couple of months. I'll let you know when we get there. Keep it up everyone!
    Hi Pablo, please could you increase my target to £25,000?


    My plan is to get my remaining debt down to 4 numbers by the end of this year.


    Thanks

    Of course! Your totals are fantastic, congratulations.

    Hey Guys x Well done everyone for a FANTASTIC month of may! We really are on a roll eh!

    #59 checking in for JUNE- £1171 paid bringing my total to £4957. 53% (i think- too tired to work it out)

    Bank loan paid off (11 month early YAY!!!) now our only debt is on a 0% BT deal for 35 months.

    I still intend to pay off our debt before christmas but i will be stoozing the payments in our 3x 5% TSB accounts. I will be making minimum payments +£1, then come christmas i will pay off in a lump sum.(hopefully)

    for the purposes of this thread (which i love) i will keep my totals as if i had paid it off my debt (rather than stoozing)
    Finally dealing with debt: 01.01.2015 -£10,562.:(
    01.02.15-£8820 01.03.15-£8066 01.04.15 £7036 01.05.2015- 6128 01.06.15 £4957

    Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2015! #59- £5605/[STRIKE]£10,562[/STRIKE] 53%
    2015: Sell £1000 #69 £510.97/1000
