I've been AWOL recently so dropping in to report that I've now paid off £5,807.08 of my £10,000 target. I may fall off the bandwagon slightly though as we're reducing our mortgage overpayments so that we can live a little.Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP(Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)0

Living is good, and provided the debt is being cleared (however slowly!) then that is good as well - you are up to 58% cleared which is excellent news!Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup

That's just it - the debt I'm focussing on in this challenge is the mortgage and we're overpaying by 25% per month. So it will be paid off early. Neither DH nor I want to push ourselves too hard in case we end up resenting each other!Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP(Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)0 -
