A bit more progress from me today thanks to chippy wages (£141) and savings from subscriptions etc (£608) so in total £749 added into the OP savings today  

I still have my wages to come from the cafe for this week as well which should be paid today but at the moment no sign of that so I won't declare them until I receive them.

Currently my total stands at £28755.88/ £81700 = 35.19% 

We have reached 35% - I feel like progress is so slow at the moment but at least my total is going in the right direction

Me again,

Another two paydays have gone into my account so I am declaring a further £429.28 made up of £291.42 from my new cafe job, £62.34 from my Etsy earnings for Sept and £75 from the new rent increase from one of our tenants.
My total currently stands at £29185.16/ £81700 = 35.72%  

I'm getting closer to my next whole percentage

Great progress x_raphael_x - well done.

It's interest day on one of our savings accounts today so another £245.54 has been added into our OP savings pot without me having to put in much effort That's the way I like it  

This makes our total now £29430.70/ £81700 = 36.02% 

I'm another 1% closer

A small amount of £9 to add to my total today thanks to a sale of a custom print on facebook  

Our total now currently stands at £29439.70/ £81700 = 36.03%

Me again, it was payday from my new cafe yesterday so a further £301.85 has been added to our OP savings account

This makes our new total £29741.55/ £81700 = 36.40% 

I'm creeping towards that next percentage

Guess who  

It's payday at the new cafe today and after working a huge 50.5 hours there this week I have earnt an amazing £486.05 which has gone straight into the OP savings pot  

Our total now currently stands at £30277.60/ £81700 = 36.99% 

We are so close to reaching 37% (£48.60 to be precise) but we have passed the £30K mark which makes me feel proud ad very happy  

I have my chippy wages to pay into the bank tomorrow so there will be a tiny more movement to report very soon too

How is everyone else getting on?

I've broken the 6k barrier. My name debts only. DH still spending on his I think so overall we are just over 14k now. I'm under 6k but will probably be using the c card that I use and repay when cashflow is a bit skewiff. Xmas is on the way so I'll likely buy when I get days off and the chance as opposed to saving them buying.  If Im still under 6k in my name by new year I'll be happy with that.id love to be able to one day say we are totally debt free but I also have to understand that requires DH wanting that too.

I've just scrolled back. I'm at 25% paid of my original debt at the beginning of the thread. Think it went up for a while in the middle somewhere so I'm calling it a win. Onwards and downwards as they say.
