    Checking in with a new total paid figure :) Technically £188 was written off the debt amount by taking a 50% F&F but I am still including it in the amount paid off as it has still come of the debt total :)


    #026 £621.27/£2.604,53


    I have also sorted out minimum monthly payments for a few other debts that I had been putting of paying. My husband should hopefully be in work by the end of March and I have a start date for my job for the end of April... Things are most definitely looking up :)
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    Hi all,


    #134 checking in with £550.28/£3147.65


    This includes completely paying off one credit card so I'm thrilled!! This leaves just under £200 left in an old student overdraft and the rest is the other credit card. I feel like I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel :)

    Hi Muppets and everyone,

    Another £500 for me please, bringing my totals to:

    #79 £6,300/£8,470 74.38%

    Getting more excited about getting rid of this once and for all, now I'm on the down slope of the hill (i.e. over 50% paid off) rather than trying to drag myself up this mountain of debt for how many years.


    I have pretty much stopped buying things beyond the essentials, so clothes and shoes, for instance, only if they need replacing, kitchenware the same. If I want music, I listen to it on youtube. As for books, one of my comfort shopping targets in years gone by, thanks to the business we live in a library, so no shortage on that score.


    I have decided instead to go for experiences. No more Maccie Dees. If we want to eat out we spend more and try out restaurants I've been too mean to go to for years. Same with spas, holidays, all on the okay to spend list.


    Pity we don't live in Plymouth or Portsmouth, lol. I'd love to be able to jump on a ferry to Santander in Spain for a few days. Calais and Dunkirk don't quite do it for me, sorry, Dover.

    Evening all, loan payment just gone out, making my totals now:-


    #74 £1415.32/£7000 = 20.22%




    Thanks again Muppets!
    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
