    Still plodding on, normal DD paid today plus a little extra to bring my total under £1000, just!.

    #29 £976/£1975 
    Morning @tryingtodobetter

    Can I just query the total amount paid to date?  Is this £999, if so can I ask you confirm going forwards the total amount paid to date rather than the balance you have left?  Im easily confused!  :smile: 

    Thanks

    Ahhh no sorry the £999 is the amount still owing! So the £976 is the amount paid to date. x.

    Evening everyone.  I haven't been on since April but have been plugging away at my debt.
    So far I've paid off a total of £1,800.

    As I stand now I'm 

    #35     £1,800/£4,500


    I'll not have my debt paid of by Christmas. I work as a TA in a school and we are now off for summer holidays.  Unfortunately for me that means 7 weeks unpaid leave as I used my holidays up during the school year for Halloween, Easter, Christmas etc. 
    Due to my living arrangements I am unabe to claim any beneifits, and cannot claim job seekers due to having a 52 week contract even though I only get paid 44 weeks of the year. Due to family duties/ arrangements etc I am unable to get myself a summer job either.  So it's tighten the belt time until October for me unfortunatley. 

     But I do have a target of Christmas 2024 to be debt free.  That's what I am aiming for if that's OK.

    @keedie, woohoo congrats on the paying off a debt!  You are doing really well and paid a total of just over 60% of your target and are ahead of target (for the current time of the year)!
