Morning all!
I get paid tomorrow, so here's how my ticker is looking;
Still a long way to go to be debt-free by 30, but I'm up for the challenge

Well done F_F!
Here is the position at the end of January. A lot left to clear by April....especially as I've got lots of extra expenses to contend with due to the house move. I should clear the CC but not sure I'll manage to get rid of the OD as well!

Hi everyone, can't believe its been a month since my last post! *slaps own wrist*
Made min payment to Egg again and paid a chunk off the overdraft last month, payday in 6 days time so hopefully another update soon. The overdraft is the focus of my 1 debt vs 100 days so should manage that - although it will be a push - which just leaves Egg to clear before Birthday.
281 days to go til DFB, which means I need to pay an average of £12.25 a day. Sounds scary when I put it like that!!
Quick ticker update:

I am now under £4,000 for the first time in years. I'm hoping to be debt-free by 30, but not sure if it will happen. Crossing my fingers!0
