Just would like to say well done to everyone here. Although I only post when I have made a payment I love to read everyones posts. It really helps me to keep on track.

There is no one around me that is dealing with their debts like we are on here and it is nice to have people talking about how they are getting on instead of pretending that everything is ok.

Jwil - Thanks for running this thread. I thing this is the only challenge where I have been able to last at least 6 months. I have normally given up by now. Thanks again :grouphug:

Aww thanks

Thanks from me too to everyone who has taken part, it really does keep the motivation up!:beer:

Payday today hurrah! And I am skint now, boo!

Made my payments today though so that's 1/10 days paying towards my debts.

Have now paid £6374 towards the challenge!

Nice one Jwil! I paid another £6750.25 to Mum's debt today, so total for no.89 stands at £6750.25/£7000. When my loan comes out on Monday, That'll be over £7k paid off this year. That's crazy! I'll continue to post though, it'll be interesting to see how far over £7k I can get.

Well done phoenix! Will you be our second person to reach goal? Certainly only the second I've seen.

We've had 5 people reach target now :T Phoenix is on track to be number 6 :j

Unless anyone else hits their target by Monday 4th July, I probably will be the second person. I tell you, when I hit it, I'm going to be so damn proud of myself. This thread, combined with finding out I'm expecting, has made for serious kick-up-bumness!

Well done! :j You can set another target if you want, or as you say just carry on and see how far past it you can get. It will be good to have you still posting though!

You should be proud of yourself, that's brilliant! When are you due?

I'm due 6th December. So I've got until November to save up enough cash to cover my loan payments until March 2012, and to save for baby stuff. Plus, to pay as much as I can off of DH's debt (he will be doing this too, of course.)
