Hi all, have just totalled my figures for the end of year - I don't expect to spend any more until 1st January and this year I've saved £7,000 exactly (just transferred £33.27 to get that figure)!

On top of this I've also managed to go to four weddings this year (costing £200 each) £600 was spent on a holiday for my parents and £650 on dental work oh, and travel costs for work of £300 this year was a new bill. All of this was paid for out of additional money from scratchcards, cashback, b!ng0, eb@y, play.com, music magpie, amazon etc.

Not sure what 2010 will bring as I lost my job in October. I've been working part time hours in three jobs to make up full-time hours, but one of those jobs ended before Christmas, so money will be much tighter in 2010, but hey... I've got savings as a buffer now so I'm sure all will be well.

Haven't been great at updating this recently but have sat down and worked it out tonight. My total for the year is:-

£31,358.48:j

'm really disappointed that I haven't hit the £35K I was aiming for but I do have £2.6K put aside in a savings account, my £188 in £2 coins and I have also been putting aside £50 per month for fuel which I haven't used the last 3 months so £150 there and finally £450 which I put aside to pay for my holiday which I paid for out of my current account instead! I haven't bothered clearing this off the card as I have switched it to a 0% card until June 2011 so it will definitely be paid off next year interest free!:j If I added the savings in then I guess I could say I'd done £34746.48 so just a bit off.

This has been fantastic, really motivational and I'm looking forward to clearing more of my mortgage next year. Well done everyone and happy new year:beer:

well just to keep me motivated and on track...a quick update on me....£717....and a little bit paid so far towards 20k challenge!! im impressed!! have a few more big payments to go out so hoping to squeeze it up to £1000 in the next week or so!

have looked at my debt payments since LBM on 29th April this year and have managed to pay off just under £7000 with little effort and with saving and paying towards our wedding....so this year will hopefully be a good one for us and our debts!

good luck all....i will keep checking in.

Total for 2009 was a shade under 5k which is a dent in the debt!

2010, we WILL be debt free, it's my mission.

Well done to everyone!!
