Told OH today that we should only owe £1500 by the end of the year and now he's on a mission to try and earn it so we can be debt free before 2012 :T

Not 100% sure we'll do it but it's a good aim to have.

Good luck! That sounds like a great extra challenge to set yourselves, you're doing really well so why not!!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update, paid £850 towards my debts yesterday. This takes me to £1,350!

Enjoy the weekend

Well signature updated at last.... too many bank holidays meant a tense wait to see what was paid off so far!

So...
£181.94 paid to LloydsTSB loan.
£225.00 paid to virgin credit card.
£50 paid to in-laws.

Although progress on debts feels slower than hoped there is now £1,036.80 in the savings account. As we're hoping to move into a bigger home this month that money has been needed to be put to one side in order to get ready for deposits etc. So if I counted that towards my overall total I'd be at 38.81%!!

Hey loumac you can add this to your total I add my savings and debts together for this challenge.

£700 to Halifax today and that's me done for 3 weeks until next payday.

We're almost through our events... I actually get a weekend to myself this week which is the first one since 19th March!

So May brings:

DS1 birthday
Evening wedding reception
OH birthday

Still got quite a lot to fork out for although DS1's presents are almost bought and picked up a couple of things for OH already.

And £1.96 transferred today to round down my account.
