    :j Shrimpy, what a huge repayment :D

    Thanks Pap! I have paid the final 159.29 today as well leaving a total remaining of £0!

    I have been a bit rubbish recently and shouldn't really have had a holiday - I didn't want to feel guilty about it but at the same time needed to keep focused on where I really want to be by the end of the year, so have thrown myself into this challenge now (Am currently penniless though so need to switch my attention back to £10 a day thread for a bit! :o)

    Can I please have a final target added of £1000 which will be spilt between CC (mainly) and o/d.

    Thanks pap and thank you again for this fabulous challenge, I got such a happy feeling updating my sig today which I am sending your way! :D

    Well done Shrimpy :j

    I still have a bit left in my account and I get paid tomorrow, so another £9 for me today please Pap, leaving £0 :D

    I've just worked out that this challenge ends when I go on holiday, so my next target is to save £300 by then for holiday spends, on top of my overpayments. Going to be tight as I have a car MOT to do as well, but I think I could juggle things.

    Pap, can you set me up a target of £300 Holiday Savings please.
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    20 ~ 5537 today...... sorry Pap, I had a look over my spreadsheet and had completely failed to update the Nationwide card.... so once again the debt totals have changed dramatically! The worrying thing is, I noticed this today with a raging temperature and a horrible flu bug. When I was "normal" It completely passed me by! Hmmmmmmm
