    £30 off Virgin credit card so that's £3682.52/£6842.49. We are almost done with the Christmas shopping now too so hopefully I'll actually make some proper payments this month and get below the 4K of debt:) Shares are looking good, triple money so far through could go so much higher, lol need to hold the nerves and wait it out.
    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

    So another £295 paid off

    AND So my total for the year is £4505/13225 (34% of total debt) :T:j not quite the 13k lol but i'm chuffed with that. And aside from lots of charges/defaults at the beginning, i personally have not added a penny to the debt :D am raring to go for 2012's challenge now!

    Well last month of the challenge and last chance to pile a few more pounds on the debt :D

    After all my payments going out and my overpayments my total now stands at :

    # 134 = £ 7,267 / £10,206

    Due some money back from OH for something I bought him and a few things on ebay so my total may (hopefully) adjust a bit more before month end.

    Happy Friday everyone :D
