I had to post to celebrate - I've just been down to the bank and paid in more on the cc - Our outstanding debt is now 10% of the worst ever total!
:snow_grin :snow_laug :snow_grin
I have to admit I'm tempted to re-post our ins and outs to see if we're missing anything, but having moved the original debt free date to March 06 from Nov 08, I'm so chuffed! I go to weightwatchers and they celebrate 10% gone rather than expecting you to reach goal, so I figured 10% left was cause for a party (at least a cheap :dance: round the kitchen!). Next target is less than £1k, which should be by end January ....
Thank you all for your help so far - and the inspiration of others working hard to get clear keeps me on the straight and narrow too!

:rudolf: I think a big well done to all of you who have beaten the debt already and a big well done to the others who are eating away at it and it's only a question of time.
It gives great inspiration to others in the same situation.
Hope you all have a fab money saving Christmas :xmassign:
