    Hello all

    just checking in with the totals for September

    paid this month £7,600

    #142 Total cleared £12,850 / £10,000 = 128.5%

    i won't be paying much more over the next three months as we will potentially be moving house and need money for fees, stamp duty etc.
    Congrats on smashing this years target figure

    Good to see you back posting. I have been following your thread for a while, never have time to comment though. Even if you don't make it, you will be done early next year. You are doing amazing. xx
    I just logged on here to see how people were doing and found your encouraging post. Thank you :)
    I'm still doubtful I will make it but my new debt figure is £5250 and I am number 39
    Thanks for running this thread.

    Hi all, I'm back again after failing to clear my debt last year. Had a really bad few months and my debt is at an all time high. You's were fab inspiration last time so can I join again please. I haven't totalled my debt (will do that tomorrow). There is no way I will be able to clear it all by Xmas but I'll make a darn good attempt to clear some!
