    Just managed to get my ammount paid off to over £3000 :j
    My next milestone is to get to the ammount paid off to over 10%...I've got .31% / just under £100 to go.

    Debt-free and Proud! PPI Party Pooper
    Oooh, I was JUST educating a colleague on the merits of combining sloe gin and prosecco, so this seems like my kind of place!

    Last month I went under the £1500 debt total and hope to be clear by August - from a starting point of around £20k.

    Congratulations to everyone else on reaching their milestones. It's a long old road for a lot of us and sometimes it feels like two steps back, but look at us all, we're getting there.

    Bloody marvelous, each and every one!! :T

    Just admiring the figures some of you have posted.

    What an inspiration.

    I've just got all my debt (£8700) bar bank overdraft on to 0% until next year following some useful prodding from here. Payday is next week. Wednesday. I will go into the black briefly. My target for the next few months is to extend the black days till every day is a black day. Then use the excess for the credit card debt. Busy working on a budget. And eBay/local paper selling. I have a few large items which should make a difference quite fast.
    Total debt at 18.9.17 £1950

    Debts down £12,700 high in Feb 2015, £10,700 April 15, £8830 May 15, £6776 June 15 , £5857 July 15 £6970 1.3.16
    £3950 15 May 2017 £3470 July 17 £2650 21.8.17

    I'll take a bag of Mr. Porky Pork scratchings if you please.

    Can I join please? I started debt busting 4 weeks ago and I will hit my 10% milestone on Monday. Its 10% of my target for the year but I'm happy and proud.
    Congrats to everyone and chin chin.

    Hi, this is my first post I think although I've been reading the forum for a while and it's been so helpful :)
    This month after being paid and all the bills coming out, I am finally out of my £800 overdraft which I've had for quite a few years. Such a relief :)

    Hi there, I'll be propping the bar up on payday, as my debt will have halved from the figure it was when I first started on the forum.

    Two and a half years down, hopefully less than two and a half years to go!!!
