    Hello peeps, you're all doing a great job slaying those debts :beer:. Paid £20 towards a BT debt, it's not much but i could easily have spent it on a pizza meal :D:p, but i did the right (and calorie-free thing!) instead :D:p.

    Paid £45/5000 - 0.9% - blimey!
    Have a t'riffic weekend :beer:.

    Afternoon all.

    Well I am making steady progress. Can I please be updated to £2463.80. I am expecting a big reduction next month when my sharesave with work ends and I pay off one BIG debt, I need to keep plodding till then.

    Big congratulations to those repayment athletes already over the finishing line - what an inspiration you are.

    #135 - Paid £2907 out of 5220 - 55.69%
    :D

    I have paid off all my credit cards. I now have a student overdraft (interest free) and a loan with really low interest. All my payments now will be lower than before, as the money will go towards a new flat. :D:D Let's hope my debt does not increase because of buying things for a house!!!
