12/100
overpaid again to DMP. Feels very good! Sadly excited to colour in 12 of my 100 square chart I printed out! Might get another step in by end of month if I’m very lucky. Plumber bill and car squeaking noise depending 🙄

Hey everyone
1st of the month which can mean only one thing. Its Direct Debit Day!!
£278.15 has been paid today which means another step completed. Have currently paid off £1281.23 this year meaning 6 steps are now complete.1 -
Hi All,
I love this idea, thank you
Can I join in please, £15500 consumer debt, 155 a step. Paid 3.6 steps off in January. Probably not going to succeed by the end of the year but what a great incentive this thread. My income varies wildly so there is a very small chance.

Morning all, first week of the month round up and no council tax has meant I have doubled my steps! Up to 22/100 now, woohoo!2

Good Morning everyone, I have just paid £200 from my CC taking my total to £1481.23, meaning I have now completed 7 steps. Can't wait to get to the double figures. It feels like a long slog.Total debt when my journey began in December 2022- £66,133.42
