    Hey all!

    Another success for ehallet's challenge. My challenge of clearing £1145.41 is now paid off in full. I basically paid it off by working my a s s off...there was no magic formula unfortunately! Although I did get £10 from the free DVD trial which I mentioned at the beginning of this trial and have had some nice (free) meals out courtesy of mystery shopping.

    How is everyone else doing?

    Just wanted to say congrats to CathChat if she reads the thread again!
    Well done to you.

    I am rubbish at this challenge....although the credit card in question has now been cut up so it shouldn't increase any more! That's something.

    Next payment due off early November.
    Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
    Sainsburys Loan: Cleared July 2010
    Credit cards: AMEX Airmiles Card: direct debit set to clear balance monthly
  • Well done Annie
    :beer:

    I have worked out what was left of hubby's bonus and added to some savings we had already we now have £1,400 saved in Premium Bonds. I have set up a standing order of £450 per month starting from next month, so hopefully the next stage of the head-to-head challenge will be completed by begining of January. Just two loans then.
    Total Debt November 2016 =£9,660.52 :mad:

    Monthly Repayments = £593.09 :eek:

    Goal to be debt free December 2017/ Savings £500 :T
