thanks for that brokenhearted44 day challenge
1. Pay £650 off overdraft (£ 288/ £650)
2. Lose 12 lbs (4.5/ 12)
3. Use YNAB everyday (6/44)0 -
Hi everyone, I have been awol for a little while but have paid £354.59 leaving £75.41 remaining. I have opened up a new Halifax account and need £100 to pay in to activate it, which has meant me not quite completing the challenge in time. But the money will be paying off the debts as intended once the account opening has gone through, so I'm still happy
Might see if I can squeeze a few more pennies out after the weekend so not quite declaring myself out yet.
Well done everyone as always, so many amazing results on here xBarclaycard [STRIKE]£7,296.35[/STRIKE] £6134.99 - MBNA [STRIKE]£4,182.88[/STRIKE] £3267.08 - O/draft [STRIKE]£569.31[/STRIKE] £413.59 - Capital One [STRIKE]£1477.55[/STRIKE] £1451.44Total debt [STRIKE]£12048.54[/STRIKE] £11267.10 6% paid0 -

Last day on Monday!!
Well done everyone so far!!!
xxx:heart2: THANK YOU MARTIN!! :heart2:0 -
So I think today is the last day of the challange?
You have all done so well
:j Yes last day is tonight so final totals are below... Each time I have set up this I have aqa'ed to find out he 100days date. this is the second time its been wrong, they obviousy just used 30+30+30+10, not thinking there were 31day months :mad:
So sorry all who were hoping it was running until monday but I am counting this challenge now closed :T
Huge congrats to those who reached thier targets, but also not forgetting those who made a huge dent in thier debt even if they didn't complete it, we are all winner
So final counts...
40 debts were cleared in the 100days
38 other debts were being repayed faster
The total amount repyed was a staggering...
£50,612.65
Its a little lower than challenge two but considering the state of the economy its still fantatsic.
Wel done to all participants and keep on going with your journeys, you can make it :beer:
Now semi bad news I am affraid, I am taking a few months out from MSE. That now means challenge four will not be posted.... Unless one of you lovely folk want to take it upon yourself to take care of it. I will be back though, maybe in the new year ready for part five. I just need some time out. Keep going, many of you are amazing, in more ways than one. I hope your debts reduce and your dreams come true. Take care0 -
Pap~thank you as always for all your hard work on the 100 day challange.

I will miss you hun.

Can I join in for another challenge, please? I want to pay off £300 of my Mbna credit card (£1795 balance now:o). It'd be nice to have smaller min payment before Chrismas time.0
