    Well, it's been a long time since I've been around the site and updated things. I've not had as much swift movement as we've paid off the cards and the rest is easier to ignore as it's all at super low interest rates (0-3% forever), which is a bit naughty of us.

    The other big news is that we've come into a fairly hefty amount of money, so we expect to pay 10,000GBP in the next month or two and just be rid of a lot of it, which I can't wait for.

    Anyway, the current updates for this thread are:

    821 GBP paid, putting me at 5,951/22,713
    Goal 1 - CCs & Loans Credit card free as of 20 Feb 2010!!! Loan Free as of 15 Sep 2011!!!
    Goal 2 - Private Student Loans Citi - [strike]$7,500[/strike] $1,200 | Echo [strike]$1,500[/strike] 0 | Sallie Mae [strike]$7,500[/strike] 0 (updated: 3 Nov 2010)
    [STRIKE]10 in 10 #109 : 18,380/10,000 GBP[/STRIKE] | Olympic Challenge 21,000/22,713 GBP

    Hi everyone sorry not been on recently I have paid another £40 which isnt as much as i need to pay but is something i suppose. Start a new job at the end of this month which is better paid so hoping to make bigger payments at the end of June but until then will keep chipping away slowly but surely. Well done to all who have managed to put something to the totals this month
