    Well done everyone, you should be so proud.
    Milestones are hard for me at the moment, even getting out of bed is a milestone some days! BUT I'm trying really hard to get my head straight so that's all I can ask of myself at the min.

    milestones are exactly what we make them - some days getting out of bed, some days not crying or having a panic attack, some days something else. whatever it is, well done. be gentle with yourself.

    My milestone for the month has already been met and that was to pay at least an extra £10 off of my CC, now I'm going to go for another £10 by the end of the month! :) Well done to everyone on their milestones!

  • I'm in over 10k worth of debt currently. Have decided to take as my monthly checkpoint the last day of each month to compare how debts are going down. If I keep ebaying at this rate and keep the plumbers away I am hoping I may creep under the 10k barrier and go into four figures of debt, not five! Keeping that wallet shut as much as I can.
    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

  • My milestone is that April 2015 was the month DH and I finally came to an agreement to sort out our debts! I'm incredibly proud about it despite having not knocked anything off the total yet. We'll see what the figures look like in May.

    Just made a payment off my CC which means...

    * I've paid over £5,000 off my debts (inc interest) since I started my journey!!! (although total debt hasn't decreased by over £5k yet but nearly there!)
    * Total CC debt is under £5,000!!!
    * I've paid off over £3,000 so far this year!!!

    :j:j:j:j:j:j

    I should also be able to clear the interest incurring CC (did a balance transfer so most interest free) on Friday! Which will also mean my total debt will be under £5k! And then after Friday I'll only have one payment left to my parents!
    Debt as at 5 June 2023 - £15,600.89
    Current debt - £5,935.00
    Total paid off - £9,665.89 (61% paid off)
