    Nothing to add atm. Still £125 to go. I thought I'd be able to manage this with a few sacrifices, but my minimum payment won't go out till 22nd this month, which I only realised today and as I was counting on that one, I won't manage it now. :(:(:(
    Dont worry about it it will still go out this month which is the main thing.

    Sam... Congratulations, I have only just seen this in your sig 'Baby M due 11th June 2010'. Do you have a diary?

    Thanks PaP :) I do have a diary somewhere, for busting this loan, but it's been a while since I updated. I find that with this thread and the weekly spend challenge I am getting everything down, and feel like I'd just be repeating myself in my own thread! Sounds daft I know. I might start it up again.
    Looking forward to the next 100 day challenge!

    :heart2: THANK YOU MARTIN!! :heart2:

    hi all, sorry not been in as much as usual but these shifts are killing me :(

    paid another £10.00 so am hoping to put the final couple of quid in before the end of the challenge. :)

    Next month I will be struggling as it's my first pay cheque at the lower salary :eek: but have a bit of overtime on there so must be all hands to the dreaded Vanquis next challenge.

    Thanks so much for organisng this challenge Pap :T

    and well done to all who have cleared debts :beer:

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(

    Have managed to make a few payments last couple of days totaling

  • Just paid another £7.00...not much but it gets it under the £200 mark (only be pennies). I won't quite make the challenge but I have paid off my original debt of £315 plus an extra £300 off a debt that would have taken until Jan 2001.That will be my goal on the next 100 days, should be about £650 ish so to get that cleared will bring it until Aug roughly???

    Just to say again a big big thanks to everyone on here, this challenge is very motivating and addictive everytime I log on here I go to my internet banking to make a payment!!! xxx
    Pay off as much as you can in 2011: £780/£8000
    Vouchers through surveys/shopandscan: £10/£250
    Ebay/Paypal target for 2011: £109/£1000
