    Afternoon all, #156 reporting for duty :wave:

    My Virgin Credit Card that I'm paying off during this challenge had a balance of £741.71 on the last statement so let's make that my challenge figure! Already been PADing for the last few weeks so I'll update each month on statement date with my progress :)

    If you take it as the £800 you thought it was then you are already 7% of the way there :D

    Thanks for the encouragement Dragon :beer: Today is statement day so #156's new updated total is £718.61! I'm really happy I joined this challenge as I'll be able to watch the figure come down and down and down! The Payment a Day Challenge is really helping too. Even a small amount each day is making a difference :)

    Next month my total will be below £700 :j
  • Hi Dragon,

    Could I please log a payment of £172.15?

    It's going to be a quiet month on the debt busting front from me..... finally, after 12 months on the market our house has sold, and we have had an offer accepted on another house :eek: It's all going through faster than I could have imagined, so I need to make sure I keep some pennies aside for all the costs!

    Can't wait to move though!! :D

  • Finally down to below £1000, so a now at £710.15 left to pay for no 10, can see the finishing line at last, and am sure I wouldn't be there if it wasn't for this challenge!!

  • Well after a sleepless night, can't believe it now it's almost paid off have decided to really tighten my belt this month, and also use all my savings so that I can say I've reached the finish line and no 10 has now paid off 100%:j:j:j:j
    Once again thanks so much, I really wouldn't have done it without the challenge as I was always going to start 'tomorrow', and had been for years. Good luck to everyone and keep up the good work!!
