    Almost my last update of 2010. I have just paid:
    • £1000 to Barclaycard1
    • £80 to HSBC
    • £110 to Barclaycard2
    It's going to be a tight month but we have shopped for Christmas so should have enough food to keep us going into the New Year, all my social dates have finished and other than petrol to visit family, I am not forseeing any extra expenditure until next payday (24th Jan :eek:)

    Off to update the sig.

    Happy Christmas everyone:santa2:

    added £200 extra to savings today. I'm so pleased I hit my (somewhat reduced!) target and have still managed to save a bit whilst being back at uni.

    I'll join for the new year but I won't be doing 11k! I'll just continue and increase my targets for 2011.

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    I've updated my siggy to include December's pay packet! Just made it :-)

    Thank you all for your inspiration, I'm not sure that I would have gotten to this point without all your help.

    Hi,

    I've updated my signature as all my payments for 2010 have been calculated. I'm so glad I joined this challenge, I would never have paid over half my debt in a year otherwise.
