awwww shucks

Number 22 calling! I've now paid off £4984.12 far from where I wanted to be but I'm managing to chip away at it while still having a nice life, hols,concerts etc without making the debt creep up - this is something I'd never have been able to do before the challenge.

I do feel a bit guilty as I could put more money to it monthly and not have my trips but then I'd be miserable so guess it's finding a balance.

Well done to everyone who have achieved 100% :T I'll be joining the commonwealth challenge which is fitting as I'm from Glasgow! I'm aiming to be sub £20,000 by the Olympics! Gosh sounds weird as at my lightbulb momnet only 4 years ago it was nearer 50k, if I can do it everyone can! It just takes time.

Unfortunately i seem to be in the same situation as last month. We did tighten our belt, but had guests down for easter and ate out every night, so my finances took a pounding. Just wanted to post to say im still very much in and hoping to make a dent next month and am still on track.to pay them off

I know that one - 3 steps forward and a couple back every so often!

Wow, some really great news in this thread, who knew that paying back debt could be so satisfying?

Well done to everyone and keep on pushing towards the finish line. :T

Hi Dragon

Number 127 reporting in I am very pleased to say that I have cleared my final CC and have reached my total of £32000 :j:j:j:j:j:j

Thank you so much for encouraging me to do this I really didn't think I would make it.:A

I don't consider myself debt free as the mortgage is still a debt but that is for the next chapter.

Thanks again and good luck with your new challenge
