    Morning everyone,

    Just paid the last bit of the debt for this challenge £264. Wow I feel so spurred on. itching to pay something else off but won't have any money until next pay day (next week Tuesday).

    Will have to look at adding something else before the end of the challenge to keep me going.

    BB
    Original debt at LBM July 2008, £47, 654.34. Debt at January 2016, £21,443. Barclaycard [STRIKE]£9,000[/STRIKE]£8,756, Tesco cc [STRIKE]£3000[/STRIKE]£1,136. Debenhams storecard [STRIKE]£350[/STRIKE]£263, OD [STRIKE]£3,500[/STRIKE] £3,000, Corp Tax £3,036, Study loan £1,750, Smaller debts £2,000.

    Since my LBM I have not been fully committed so now I have had a 2nd LBM.

    Paid £50 off today, meaning that I've met my target and am up to £507.83/£500 :j Will continue throwing as much as I can at the debt until the 19th April, although this month and I need to pay some of DSs clubs fees for next term- guitar lessons, tennis, swimming, basketball, multisport and cubs :eek:
    Looking forward to September when (all being well) I will be working more and so earning more. I should then be able to put some money away each month for these things- at the moment it's difficult, especially as I am concentrating on the debts.

    Number 19 here.

    Haven't updated in ages since I've been focusing on other debts for the past couple of months since they were higher interest :o These other debts are gone now though so I can properly focus on my Santander OD but it will have to be 1 debt vs 200 days for me :D

    I'll roll it on into the next challenge.

    Well done every whose reached their targets! :T:T:T

    I pinched £170 from my DHs wages, so on Day 80 I am at £510.20 out of £500, so i am so happy with that. Other than my normal payment, there might be not a lot more to report this challenge, but i can't believe how well it has gone after such a slow start.
