    Just double triple checked my account and I've just had another almost £5 & almost £8 pop back into my bank account to replace 2 x direct debits taken in error by the bank so I'll round those up, withdraw it to go into my envelope and that takes me to my 2%!!!!!! Onto the next % - I'm liking this! Also means any ebay sales tonight can go towards my 3rd %.

    So #48 @ 2% :D

    Current debt £10770.35 so 1% is 107.70, so I'll round up to £110.

    Looking forward to ridding myself of this debt!

    #17 im at 100 % 1000 pounds saved. Yayyy. Ive set up a d debit to myself each week to try and increase it up to 1250 by the time I need it. (December)

    I will set myself another target i think. I did paying debts down last year and found it easier to keep track of than this one as I've had to dip in and out of the savings account as the years gone on. Its in a different account now waiting to be used but not borrowed from.

    Current debt total is 28979 so i guess my new 1% is 289.79. Im hoping to pay 3% by xmas.
    Jan 18 Joint debts 35,213

    Mortgage Jan 18- 77224 May 25- just under 65k

    June 25 Debts in my name only £5170. DH can't keep track...
