Hi please take off £29.06 which leaves me with a nice round £500 to pay off cc and £6000 to the bank of mum which i love in the sense that there is no interest to pay but i hate in the fact there is no interest to pay because there is not the same incentive to pay off the money as she is not expecting it back (in a disappointed way) so if i dont pay it.......................... Really want to show her she is wrong about that so must try really hard after cc is paid off which i hope to do later this month as i will use my council tax and the money i would normally have deducted from a previously paid bill. Well done to all we are getting there slowly but surely0

Hi - dribs and drabs from me for a few days but another £10 reduces the total again:j:j:j
Before finding DFW and this challenge I wouldn't have bothered making all these extra little payments but this spurs me on to be debt free by July 2012 so I am determined to see the total come down at least a little bit everyday if I can:TNR [STRIKE]£5542[/STRIKE]£2771 BC [STRIKE]£7987[/STRIKE]£7700 BC [STRIKE]£3000[/STRIKE]£5100 Cat1 Pd Cat2 Pd Ulstr [STRIKE]£3400[/STRIKE]£3070 TSB [STRIKE]£4851[/STRIKE]£4400 MBNA [STRIKE]£7700[/STRIKE]£3887 NWst [STRIKE]£950[/STRIKE] £700 Hfx [STRIKE]£10097[/STRIKE]£10050 Asda [STRIKE]£398[/STRIKE] £315 HFX1 Pd Hfx2 [STRIKE]£3133[/STRIKE] £3000
