    Ooh please can I join.

    I am in for the long haul currently March 2012 when I will be the grand old age of 28.

    Currently debts of £44500.00 but was over 48k only 4 months ago. That is the total for me and OH and between us we have 16 creditors!

    And once that is over I then have 130k mortgage to work on - fun times ahead! x x

    me please. i will be here for a few years yet. DFD is 2011 but hoping to bring it back a wee bitty ( as we all are) . This will be great for good news/bad news posts from us. I had some good luck last week and although I put it on my own diary I didnt feel comfortable telling everyone ( although i was dying to) but a thread like this would allow us to tell things like that and pass on tips and hints etc. Love it. x
    5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60
    Currently CC £23,674.36 /£14,895.41/£14315.42

    What a fantastic idea - I'm in for the long haul. Years of affluent living, affluent working, working hard & playing hard. Then bang it all goes pear shaped & i've never recovered. Consumer debt approx £37k, Mortgage debt £240k ish. It's a tough old game but somebodys gotta be in it.
    Debts at 02/02/20: c£225,000 inc CCs of <£1000 repaid in full monthly
    Debts at 14/07/10: £278,091 inc £24k unenforceable and £16k consumer debt. But House no longer derelict!!!
    LBM: 14/08/07; Debt at LBM: £287131 inc CCs: £37,202.55;

    Hello fellow long haulers.

    Hypno - thank you for organising numbers. I feel like part of the crew now!

    My current debt is £7,000 ish (see sig - can't add up at this time of night!), current dfd date 2011. I "NEED" to reduce this. As I've said in previous posts, I don't have support from my familiy so hope you guys will help

    Thanks
