ERgh. Thanks for that heads up 166 million! If I can make it to 8 grand this year I think I'll be very happy. We want to do a short trip to Lapland at Christmas to surprise DS; costly but only a small window that he'll believe in FC so needs to be done... no summer holiday this year to make up for it. Am saving the money in advance so we don't put any on cards.... proper old style! THis is how we did our summer holiday last year and it felt really good not to have it hanging over us to pay off once we came back.

Hi all!

Sorry I've been MIA but we've been enjoying our first holiday in 3+ years! It was fabulous. Now I have post-holiday blues!

The great, wonderful, MARVELLOUS news is that as of the 3rd (when we got back and I could make the final payment) I am DEBT FREE! :j

For the purposes of this challenge I am now £8283/£8283. God that feels good to write!

Well done everyone for the totals and August's sum. Keep on plugging at it. Massive thanks to you all for helping me get here!

That sounds lovely. These things just have to be done. And great to have it all paid up properly too!
