    Blimey, some impressive numbers coming through :T:T:T

    My debt reduced by £240 ish today following a loan repayment, and I have been throwing my dribs and drabs of MSE-made money to the debt pot too over the last few weeks.

    I won't make my £30k target but I should make £20k by the end of the challenge, which I will be content with, on the basis that in years gone by, my debt would possibly have INCREASED by that amount rather than gone down :D

    Keep going guys - you are all doing brilliantly :j

    Am I being dense - has this thread always been in debt free diaries? It seems a crazy place to put it. Only just noticed it when browsing the DFW board and noticed this was there, but had been 'moved'. It's not exactly a diary is it? It's a collective debt-busting effort and as such ought to be on the main board to encourage others....

    Oh right, just seen the sticky on DFW main board.

    I still feel miffed though. LIke I'm not important enough to be on the mainboard any more :)

    Perhaps the solution is to have a new board altogether, called 'Diaries and challenges'. Then people could find it easily.
