I change mine in my signature each month, the one under my name isn't accurate as I paid a payment prior to IVA starting. I do like to see the figures altering.

I love seeing mine change as well, and always change the one in my signature.

Hi newtoallthis - go to your profile and on your right hand side you have Basics, fill the bit that says 'When IVA started' [:)]

Mine is also for 6 years (hubby's is 5) - I couldn't figure out how to, so I would say no, but I'm sure that if we can one of the administrators will advise us [:D]

The count is great on here n really helps but my tip is to think of it this way:
You are not counting down but counting your way up to becoming debt free.
Because in a way you are paying your debts in a structured way -& the months that go by successfully - you are on your way up the ladder! Positive thinking its not a count down its a count up ;-)

So true Lyns,

One of my "smug" things lately is when I'm offered a store card.e.g Dorothy Perkins. Sales Assistant says " you can save 20% by opening a card"
I say " No thanks, I don't agree with credit, I just pay cash for what I want".[:)]

[:D][:D]

Julie u ok or like me cant sleep tonight ?!?!

One of mine is flick your hair n say "I did away with credit years ago" x
But most of the time I really wana scream at them " Im insolvent so no, cash is fine" then a little rant in my head would go on to say "its your blooming faults I got into this mess" offering people with no means large amounts of credit! Ranting!
