in Debt-free wannabe
In the last week of August I set myself a target to pay £460 off my credit card bill!

Today I made the final September payment and I've smashed my target by £45:T I also paid £140 off our electric bill which had been in debit for 3 years, so total debts paid equals £645 for September :D

We go on holiday tomorrow (which I'm not in the least bit feeling guilty about :o so I'm not gonna set myself an October challenge! well maybe I will!

My September challenge is to pay £455 off my debt meaning I'll have paid 30% of the NSPCC credit card debt off in 3 months :o wish me luck!

DEBT FREE for the first time in 10 years and with savings!

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
