    I haven't posted for a while but thought I would do a quick update. I was saving towards paying a lump sum of OH car loan. Now I don't need to - he's written the b****y thing off so the insurance money will just clear what was owing!!!! Now we are paying for a hire car until he can get a replacement - and a replacement loan!!!! What I had managed to save will be eaten up by the rental costs!!!! Still it could have been worse - he wasn't hurt which is more important!!!

    So I haven't succeeded with this challenge but will be back for the next one. Well done to all of you on your successes!

    Happy Christmas Everyone. 'See' you in the New Year.

    :hello:

    Hi all and well done xxx

    I'm not going to manage to clear the debt due to the tax that I had to pay :(. This meant that I had to get my home insurance on the barclaycard :(. Mind you if I hadn't been doing the challenge there wouldn't have been the money on the barclaycard so I would have been well and truly stuffed so many thanks to the challenge :) so again a big THANK YOU to Michelle for running it and thanks to all for being here :smileyhea

    Will be back for number five and hope to crack it then :)

    :hello:

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(
