    Woop!

    It's been a great month for you too - you must be so excited that you're nearly there!

    Yay for Nov 2012! :D
    Debt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j
  • £39.79 to the loan today which takes me over 52% cleared.

    Amazingly I'm also close to my £10 a day target (£287). I didn't think I'd get anywhere near it because I haven't eBayed anything at all this month, but still the £ has trickled in (mostly from 2nd job).

    Definitely going to join the December challenge for £310. I've seen a great present for DH but it's £250 (WAY more than we'd usually spend), so if I can generate some pennies I might think about getting it. He's been a star in going along with the budget, having to ask me for £ and generally not spending anything at all so he deserves a treat.

    Well done on the 52% and the £10 a day :T

    Will be lovely to treat your DH if you can raise the extra money :)

    You both deserve treats, you have done so well.

    The balance is coming down and the percentage is going up, perfect!!

    £70 to the loan which takes me below £11k - so happy! Not far off reaching my next goal of below £10k now. Should definitely reach it in January.

    Also up to 54%.

    Going to keep going at the £10 a day challenge because I would love love love to knock another month off the DFD, although that will be tough.

    I've got quite a lot of £ in my Christmas account (more than I think I'll need) so I'm hoping to be able to do a bonus PAD at the end of the month.

    That debt is coming down so fast mrsb, although it probably doesn't feel like it to you. Your achievements are great!!

    Yay to bonus PADs :j

    A good weekend. DH got a tax rebate of £340! So already hit my £10 a day target on only the 5th December :j I need to keep going though!

    Also got a few Christmas present bargains online, which leaves me with only a couple left to get. I've decided to get the expensive present for DH - going to order today. It has free delivery and returns so I can check it out.

    Up to 55% today. Pretty much done for the month because anything else I make will be going towards Christmas, I think.
