Yes! Through the £20K barrier

Good morning all!

The sun is shining, DS is up, ready on time and in a good mood. And my DD's to cc's for this month have gone out this morning..so I'm chuffed to say I've reached my first big milestone of sub £20K - debt now stands at £19,968.74 :j :j :j

Amazed at how all the savings have added up since I joined here in March enabling me to pay an extra £200-£250 per month off my cc's. :T

I'm going to work a happy bunny!
Back on the DFW Wagon:

CC - £3,300 on 0% til 04/2020
CC - £4,500 on 0% til 02/2019
Loan - £12,063.84 as at 4/1/18

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Good for you, you will be debt free in no time at this rate. I am really proud of all my fellow DFW friends... posts like these really are sticking two fingers up at those money grabbing banks. Hugs from me ((((((((())))))))
