    Well I am very pleased to report, that having gone through my spreadsheets, and having paid in a large cheque, for a ridiculous number of hours that I worked last month, along with money from an equally silly number of mystery shops, my overdraft is now clear and this is my DEBT FREE DAY.

    I am also totally cream crackered!!

    Thanks for this thread, it was the final push that I needed to get there.

    Now going to concentrate on building up a savings buffer, to avoid slipping back into overdraft.
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

    Well done to everyone who has paid off their debts. I'm really hoping to get back to it and manage to join you before the time is up.

    You're not far off yukkibear, just that final push and you'll do it.

    I made myself sprint to the finish line, as I thought if I didn't, i'd collapse with 100 yards to go, and never move again.

    Congratulations scrooge- an inspiration to the rest of us :j
    I've paid my PADs so far this month in today so another £100 paid to the credit card, that's £890 paid so far and a balance of £1110 left to pay.

    PAPs- thanks for the update on which day we are at....I keep getting seriously lost!! Looks like I'm on track at the moment, just got to keep on track and not splurge!!
