I knocked a whole month off my DFD today. Paid off Dotty P card so new debt free date is Feb 2012. x

Can I join as well please??

I am on a DMP with CCCS and at the moment my DFD is 2015, which seems a long long way off!!

I am doing what I can to try and pay more off each month and put any extra in a PO account, but there always seems to be some disaster. I am due to have my review with the CCCS shortly and then I really must try and stick to my budget.

It would be great to have some other long haulers to talk to

Dear All

I hope you are all well.

I certainly missed the site when it was down over the weekend. Welcome to every one who has joined.

Now I did offer to keep and post regular updates in tabular form on how everyone is doing. I'm afraid that technically I might not be up to the task. I've tried cutting and pasting from excel, using a grid in word, and simply using the tab button. Could anyone help?

I would like to just be able to cut and paste from excel is this possible?

Anyway I am really keen to keep records as I think they are a great motivator.

Regards

Lunar I am the same. I love the snowball site. I get all excited when I drop my dfd by a month. Did a wee jig round the living room on payday cos it had gone down. Sad eh?

:hello: fellow long-haulers,

I've just found this thread and think it's a brilliant idea, I dread to think how long it will take us to pay off our debts so will definitely be here for the longhaul so I'd love a number, cheers xx

My total debt is approx £45,000 not including mortgage, I'm hoping to have it paid off within 5 years but I'm sure I'll be here for longer than that.

I've been religiously ebay'ing, quidco'ing and survey'ing to boost my income and hopefully I should start to see that money coming in within the next month or so.

I'm currently on maternity leave, not due to go back to work til July 2008 so my work-income is restricted, thats why I'm using all my spare time trying to generate more money.

I hope to get to know you all a little better xx
