    Morning everyone. I wasn't able to take advantage of the short interest month of February as much as I'd liked but still got the figure DOWN (and I'll try harder next year for sure!)

    Anyway, total paid since the start of the challenge is now £2147.34!

    Roll on summer

    In the last month 27/2 to 27/3 I've paid off £514.47.

    My car is now paid off!!! Yeeha, just hope nothing needs done to it in the next few months as plan on using this money towards the dreaded debt cards! Which are my only debts now!

    Everyone seems to be doing a great job so congrats!

    Hope x

    Hi could I join in too please? Not sure of the exact amount (about £6k credit card) but will update later. Should be mortgage free by November 2011 which will free up a bit more cash to go toward the (now destroyed) credit cards.

    Good to see you pleasemakemedebtfree - I'll put you down at £6k at the moment - just let me know if it changes!

    Other amounts welcome (good to see some of you back!) and I will nip off to the opening ceremony post and will do some updates!

    Hi all,

    New total is £6,543.44, so £1,905.02 cleared. Still can't get head round stopping adding to my debt though, have paid more than this but because I am adding, it's not coming down the way it should! I WILL DO IT!
