I havn't posted for awhile but in the last week I have paid off a 3 credit cards a loan plus a bit of another loan. So for June my payments £23,657. This bring my total in 2011 to £29,325.:j:T
I have also over paid on my mortgage by £1497.
Jwil - can you please update page 1.
I don't want to add another target because I have only one loan left and the way it is set up i only have to make one very big payment per year, which I have already done for 2011. I hope to pay 2012 amount later this year or be able to clear it thus no debt.
Thank you everyone for your postings they really do help.
Wow, well done :j:T:j"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee0 -

Don't be disheartened donna, every payment gets you a little bit closer, and if this challenge makes you pay off even £1 more than you would otherwise, then it's a success!

Well done o2b free - feels good doesn't it? We paid for our holiday last year in advance, using cash. it felt really odd. And it made me realise how disconnected we've become from cash as a society - the amount you pay for a holiday is just mad!0
