Nr 2 is here, back from our much needed holiday. Reality kicked in, Tesco still hasn't given us the right figure so our debt is higher than I anticipated.
Overpayment made, £1350 goes towards the loan.

Hi everyone, I'm sorry I haven't updated, but things are a bit hectic at the mo. Hoping to catch up properly soon.
Paid another £66 to my cc.
Well done on all the overpayments everyone!"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 -
Hi All
I had a loan that I had planned to pay off next year through this challenge. However, I got some money given to me as part of the will of a relative who died recently. I have debated for ages about what to do with this money but finally decided that I should pay off this loan. As a result I have paid off £8000 in full and am totally free of short/medium term debt:j:j:j - all I have left to tackle is the mortgage:D.
Well done to everyone on th OPs this month and thanks again to jwil for setting up this challenge. It is going to be really nice (not to mention unusual) that I am not allocating a good portion of my wages to debt repayment.
