this means i now have zero chance of MF in three--prob 5years---but i will stay with thread and see how low i can get.

Sorry to hear your news bt! However, keep going with the challenge and you might surprise yourself.

It's quite addictive watching our balance go down more than it would have without overpayments and other people cheering you on. It also doesn't matter if you don't actually make your goal - we didn't with the previous challenge through both job & Health circumstances changing for the poorer. The point is to try as much as you reasonably can and you will be better off at the end if you hadn't tried.

Good luck xx

Another o/p this week of £200 - not as much as I'd hoped due to car expenses, new washing machine and freezer. At least the freezer will be handy later in the year when I freeze lots of veg that I'll be growing on my new allotment!

Just doing my monthly update. Due to getting part of my pay early (only get paid every 6 months ) I have been able to pay £8163.77 off my debts this month taking my MFiT(2) total to £11172.37 and 12.3% paid hope to be in the green zone when the next chart is done :j

Just looking at your signature - fantastic achievement but HOW ON EARTH HAVE YOU DONE IT? Can you impart any MFW wisdom to a mere-mortal

I am a company director so my pay is dividends which are paid twice a year that's why we got in such a mess trying to budget over 6 months is really difficult and when we ran short there was always a handy credit card to fall back on

That's bad luck BUT good luck could also come your way as easily. We haven't got a hope of doing it in three either so what we are doing is taking it in 3 year stages. So stick with it like us huh?
