    I did it! :j:j:j

    I paid the final 367.08 to my MBNA card this morning so in the past 99 days I have cleared Capital One and MBNA cards.

    Thanks so much PAP, this challenge gave me the kick up the backside I needed - looking forward to the next one! xxxxx

  • :j Well done all of you who have finished in the last few days. I am happy to see motivation is still ongoing...

    Just to let you all know today is Day 100 :T :T We made it... Today is the last day to make any payments to these pesky little debts. One last push :D

    Pop back tomorrow where I will post the offical figures etc etc... Oh and a sneek peek on the official date the new thread will be started ;)
  • Paid £10 today so just missed target £51 left to go :mad: I'm going to clear it when I get paid on Fri as I put in some overtime last week, so I will still clear it on just over 100 days!. Thankyou so much PAP for this thread as in the run up to christmas I know I wouldn't have paid so much off otherwise :)
    £3000 (27%) left to pay!

    Cheerleader_by_CookiemagiK.gif Congratulations everyone who has made it through the 100daysCheerleader_by_CookiemagiK.gif

    So here are the official stats, I think we have all done super well...

    * 63 members pledge they would pay £79,939.54 in 100 days

    * Sady only 55 members payed anything towards their debts in this time... However in that time we cleared 26 debts and many are on there way to being cleared a lot sooner than they may have :T

    * We made a payment everyday except Friday 4th December….

    * Over the course of the 100days we as a collective repaid £34,398.97... That’s an average of £546.01 per member and an average of £343.98 per day :j

    * Overall we have reduced our starting debt to only £45,540.57 :beer:

    You have all been fantastic and you all deserve a pat on the back :T

    But please can I personally do a huge shout out to Pen (penelopedee) who has been a rock and my inspriation in this challenge, without all her other posts... Thanks Pen Hug_by_Abfc.gif

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    So after all your comments on wanting another 100day challenge I will certainly be posting a new one.... The thread will be posted on the 1st of January :j The start date will be Friday 8th Januray 2010 and the end date will be Sunday 18th April 2010 :j

    So all of you hoping to join post a note on your desk/in your diray etc and come and search for the thead in the new year.... Once the new one goes up I will post a link here at the end of this thead and get a mod to lock this thread...

    Have a great festive period all, and again congratulations for tackling an extra few debts....

    Well done everyone! That's absolutely fantastic amount!

    Can I just ask one question, has everyone paid something each day or when they have the extra money? So do you do it bit like PAD or however you want?

    Thanks. Hoping to join you next year!
    DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!
    Proud to have dealt with my debts!
