  • Can I join please? I've built up a bit of debt this year, totalling 28955, it is in Aus dollars. I really want to clear it next year, but it will probably be end of 2018 before it's cleared.

  • Hi Muppets,
    Please can I join again? I am number 74 this year, so the same again will be good. I have some updates for 2016 before I think of a target for 2017 though!!
    LBM 1.1.16 = £27096.59 - now £17,020.38

    Paydbx 2017 - £3588.90/£7000 = 51.27% - number 74

    Paydbx 2016 - £6487.31/£7000 = 92.67% - number 74

    Afternoon Cwtchie, thanks for the update.

    Hi muppets

    I would love to rejoin this thread.

    I didn't join the 2016 thread for a number of reasons which have lead to a year of hell, but I have joined a number of the previous ones. It's such a supportive thread and a fab way to keep motivated.

    On the 2015 thread I was a couple of hundred away from being debt free, then two months from the end Payplan adjusted my figures and the amount left to pay went up by £2500. I was gutted but paid it off. Then I took my eye off the ball, wad made redundant, got a poor paying job and had to deal with a poorly DH and I'm ashamed to say the debt has risen to £7148.39...........

    It's going in 2017, no excuses. I need to be here though on my favorite thread. Can I come back please?

    0/7148.39

    Thanks Px
    Afternoon parsniphead and welcome back, you are number 22. I remember you from the 2015 thread :) 2017 will be your year. Gazelle Intense, is that a phrase from Dave Ramsey? xx

    Hi there

    Afternoon Helen, thanks for the update. You target has got to be realistic for you, there is no point in setting a target that you know you would never manage to achieve. I have just read your latest news, i am so sorry for your loss. Next year has got to be 100% better for your. xx

    Hi,

    I would love to join in please. I don't have a huge amount of debt, but it does seem to have crept up this year, so I would like to tackle it before it spirals.

    I have am going to look to clear the 6 small debts totalling £2604.53 first. That will leave me 1 debt of £1177 and 2 debts of the husband totalling roughly £3000.


    Please put me down for £2604.53 for 2017
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.
