    Well done Eagles.:T:T

    I can't wait for that feeling......it must be great to know that you have paid a debt off.

    We are on a DMP so ours will all probably finish around the same time, it seems a long way off, and I can't imagine what it will feel like, but its one feeling that I can't wait to experience. !!

    I agree this is the best challenge, I can't believe that I know get pleasure from saving money instead of spending it.

    What will we all do when we have spare money instead of debts.?....I will definitely save half for the future, and the other will be saved up to pay for things, like holidays etc. Never again will a credit card or loan come into this home.

    Total Payments Jan: Virgin £125, Tesco £150, Sainsburys £180, Mint £50, Egg £83, Citibank £515. Total £1103.
    If we can count the £800 mortgage payment too, then it looks impressive!
    Served notice on cable since couldn't negotiate a cheaper deal, so hoping to do at least as well in Feb. Also now intent on sorting out cheaper buildings, contents, life insurance, and investigating utilities ready for when it might be appropriate to change.
    Also working on extra income - not finding it easy with working so many hours int he week though.
