    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker Debt-free and Proud!
    Paid £30 off the Barclaycard so that's £2584.23/£6842.49. Also paid off another £50 from what I owe BF, at this rate I might actually have some money for extra payments next month after all but still need £350 for hol before August pay day too.
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    I have never been so glad to see payday!! I wound up with £22 left in my account last month which was very good going as I had £42 left with 2 weeks to go!

    Anyway pay has gone in, all big DDs (mortgage, CT, loan) have gone out. Worked out my budget for the month and overpaid the loan by £850 (in addition to my normal £295 payment).

    So, counting in the interest, this brings my debt total to [STRIKE]£15800[/STRIKE] £620 left to pay!! And my total for this challenge to...

    :j:D:j £7663/£8283 :j:D:j

    And if you think I've overexcited this month just wait until next pay day! :rotfl:

    Wow, so close, well done! I'm getting all excited for you too :D
