Payments gone through and sig updated [STRIKE](in a sec anyway).[/STRIKE]
Got quidco £100 (almost) so thought I would match it and paid another £200 off the debt that isn't part of this challenge or the total debt in my sig. Not sure why I keep on reporting these payments apart from it makes them feel a bit more real and like I am heading in a half sensible direction.£34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)

I revised my dfd from October 2009 when I started to April 2010 and now June 2010, I think that debt free by 41 will still be fantastic (especially since on the thread you don't look a day over 35) I am challenging myself to debt free by end of June but would really, really like to have done it by my birthday which is in August so only really a month more but what a difference a month makes....
How is the newish job going?
No I should get paid next Monday and then hopefully again the Wednesday before xmas.
The newish job is going okay but the commute itself is exhausting!
Debt free by 41 is still good yes! At least my debts are still heading downwards!poorandindenial wrote: »Ah, perhaps baby wouldn't mind moving left a bit to even things up - lol
I am good cheers hun, been working quite hard but that is refreshing after the old job where I could barely motivate myself to turn my computer on, at least being busy makes me feel like spending 8 hours or so a day there is worthwhile. Actually I am underplaying it, I am really enjoying it, the people are lovely and the work is interesting and varied and people value my opinion and it is possible to get stuff done. All good here (I am also pretty much sorted for Christmas, just parents to do but I am sure that inspiration will strike...

I think it's just cos we can't take anything off our sigs so while we are reporting that we are paying off debt. It isn't reflected in the sigs.
How are you feeling today?

Morning all.
I can understand why you're reporting them as well PAID. It's all in the right direction and it's good to get it out there to say you've done it!

Well, £8 in coppers, £10 in 5p's. I don't use much cash, so it takes me awhile to save any decent amount and only save coppers and 5p's.
Next year I'm hoping I could save £2 coins, but eats into my food budget so we'll have to see...DEBT FREE OCTOBER 2012!Proud to have dealt with my debts!0 -
