  • Hi everyone.

    My computer died just after Xmas, so have had limited internet access (just some sneaky surfing at work and a couple of hours a week in the library).

    I've got a new computer now and have spent the last couple of days catching up - you're all doing so well :T .

    I've carried on making my usual payments and some small overpayments, so my total to date paid since the 1 Dec 08 is £3091.91. I think that's about half of what I paid in the whole of last year's challenge :j .

    Well done everyone.

    Well Done! Feels great doesn't it?:T :T :T
    Just think how much will have been paid of by the time the challenge is complete!:eek:

    I have made another £100 internet transfer payment today off the debt and my sig has been updated.

    The sun is shining and I am feeling quite positive today. Have a great day everyone xxx:j

    Well done everyone - I get so envious at everyone being able to make big payments all through the month. I seem to be more of a make a payment when I get paid and then hope I've left myself enough to live on kind!

    No payments for me today :( just wanted to be friendly. :p

    I am very pleased to announce that I have today cleared one of my loans - ok, it was the smallest of them, but it had an APR of 19.9% so it is very good to see the back of it.

    I have, however, had an expensive month, with car insurance, DS school trip, mega ski expenses and now the car is in having its brakes done, so the net reduction in my debt today is £998.57, which takes my total for the challenge over £6000, so I am 20% of the way to my personal target :j

    Getting there - everyone is doing so well :T

    I have just had a loan payment go out today for £99.86. Updated sig.
