    Not quite as good as reporting debt-freeness :D

    But....22%/65%

    Very happy to have hit the next percentage :)

    it's on the normal debt free pages, actually i think it's high up at the moment as a couple of people have posted recently. I've also taken it into my head to start the How much have we cleared in 2010 thread. It's been done for the last few years and it's amazing how much we all manage to clear when you add it all together.

    WELL!

    Just went to Asda to do a mini shop for lunches - card got declined (twice). DH checked online banking following a frantic phone call from me - in credit. Cut a long story short my card was fraudulently used in BANKOK yesterday to withdraw £224 from a cash machine (luckly Barclays declined this). Debit card now cancelled and cut up and have to wait for a new one to be sent :mad:.

    Want to be greatful Barclays spotted this and declined the transaction or this could have caused mega issues.

  • Hi Everyone!

    Hope you all had a fab Christmas and New Year!

    Kat can you please change my target for me? As I'm new to this saving malarky and still enjoying my debt freedom I would like to set my savings target at 20% of my wages (£250)...better to aim low and hit high - hopefully beating that target - than to aim high and hit low :D
