Morning @tryingtodobettertryingtodobetter said:Still plodding on, normal DD paid today plus a little extra to bring my total under £1000, just!.
#29 £976/£1975
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!
Thanks

Pay Debt by Xmas #291 -
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.Pay all debt off by Christmas 2025 £815.45/£3,000£1 a day challenge 2025 - £180/£730 Declutter a bag a week in 2025 11/52Lose 25lb - 10/25lbs Read 1 book per week - 5/52Pay off credit card debt 18%/100%3 -
