No 8 here!

I know it's been forever since I posted. With one thing and another, our credit card debit shot up to almost double my initial amount, but I am DELIGHTED to tell you that thanks to a lodger and a successful PPI claim we will have paid it all off by the end of May.

I'll be back then to declare it properly, but I'm currently bouncing off the ceiling in glee so wanted to share!

Hi all,
Since last April, we bought a new house, moved into said new house, got married, and went on honeymoon (wedding and honeymoon saved for).

Congratulations Swinstie, weddings and new houses are always mighty expensive times. At least you know what you are faced with and already have plans to pay it back asap. So many don't!!

Well done! Do you have an interim amount paid or are you waiting until the end and saying 100% clear

Well done to all those who are debt free must be such a nice feeling. I am another Scot who will have to aim for the Commonwealth as well so hope some of you will still be around with cheers and motivation. Good luck everyone xx

Should I set up an interim thread for the Commonwealth Games then? (followed by another one for those that still need it, 2016 in Rio )

Well for me personally it is a goal to aim for otherwise im not sure if i will have the motivation, however I do realise that it is quite time consuming for you. So if you feel that it will be a hassle then please dont put yourself out but if you have the time, patience and inclination then i would be most grateful xx

Hi all,

I'm definitely up for the Commonwealth Games Challenge, planned to have our debt paid back by this time next year but my tenants have just notified me they are leaving beginning of April (after signing a new 6 month lease), Grrrr!

Be back with an update once made this months payment!

P.S. Thanks for the wedding congrats!

I'm in for the long haul - so not a problem (hmm should I wait until July to start it or start it now?)

I'm going to wait for the 100% if that's ok - just waiting for the PPI cheque to come through and it'll whack it all off in one hit!
