    Number 22 calling I've now paid off 5468.58

    Well done to everyone who has cleared their total - it's amazing. I need some renewed focus, nothing has gone up but need to be creative to make extra payments. Away on holiday tomorrow so hopefully when I get back I'll be rechared and ready to go!

    On a positive note, this month sees me having paid off over £20,000 since finding this site! Have roughly that amount left but cannot face another 5 years of paying - need to sort myself out!

    LBM 03/07 £44k:eek: DFD 31/12/17 :A 12/17 £2545.50
    Credit Card £2500.00 & Next £45.00
    Savings = £81.21 & Help To Buy ISA = £4700.00

    Hello world, just to let you know the official paid back is
    £20375.77
    I know its not everything but I have to say I think that it is pretty good going.
    I never expected to get £31,000 but think we can get it down another £4000 over next two months. May have to just eat bread. I am really pleased for all who made it so far. If my PPI comes through ;) I may get there too.

    Can I say congratulations to all of you who have completed this challenge. !!!!!Well done!!!!!!

    Sadly circumstances have prevented me from joining you.
    Since starting this challenge I have had myself a little bundle of joy who arrived 7 weeks ago and as I am not presently working I have only been able to make small payments. I have however totalled my payments to date... £7135.00. Please can my percentage be updated on the front post.

    Thanks, and congratulations. X X X
