    Afternoon All, had major problems with laptop this morning but all sorted now (with no expense luckily!)

    £285 for me today please which now means I've cleared my target and more. I'm off on hols next week so I'm not going set a new one for the last few days. The banks can stand in line behind my lovely family and their fun for the next week or so.

    Many thanks again Pap for running this challenge for us. I can't believe we've paid off over £50,000. That is brilliant. :T

    Happy Easter everyone and I look forward to debt bashing with you all again in the next challenge. :) Pen x
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    Hiya

    Paid another £125 today! That means I have about £210 left to pay, but have cleared one debt (well when they finally refund my charges that was agreed with the FOS back in Feb- think I should charge them interest on the months since then!!!!:rotfl:)
    Also, have used this time to sort out my snowball, currently 41 months until DFD but am determined to use this challenge to bring it down to 3 years which is how long it would take if I got a consolidation loan!!
    Like others I am aiming to clear this by end of April, but I think a BIG BIG well done all round on this challenge, thanks a million to all those who have supported and kept me making the overpayments to clear it!!!:T

    Vouchers through surveys/shopandscan: £10/£250
    Ebay/Paypal target for 2011: £109/£1000

    Me too Skaps, can't decide whether to blitz a debt first or save up and get my engagement ring mended.

    Yeh, I think you are right Beanielou. The stone has fallen out and its been sat in a cup on the shelf for the last month. We'd been married 10 years before we managed to get me an engagement ring :o
