    Hi everyone - just had a massive catch up with the thread - I have been keeping up with payments just forgetting to post **holds out hand for PAP to slap**.

    A massive well done to those that have completed the challenge already, those who have cleared a debt and to scrooge for becoming debt free.

    I have paid off £452.65 from Capital One and £183.43 from MBNA since the start of the challenge which is £636.08 in total - need to find my starting amount now to work out how much I have left x x

    Edit - 636.08/1772.47 so 1136.39 to go! x x
    Pay Debt by Xmas 16 - 0/12000
