    25th sounds grand to me. The week the kids go back to school here.

    I've had some extra bits to add. We did a normal payment, got some quidco and surveys, and we also got a windfall of £1250. DHs aunty had to go into a care home, and her car was sold with the proceeds split between all her great nieces/nephews.

    Overall, i think i am done now for this challenge. I am going to relax a bit with the kids over Easter as i have worked my socks off since Christmas.

    I will have paid off £3417.91 in the past 87 days. Wow.

    Count me in for the next challenge definitely. I do better when i have to report in.

    Thanks Amara for being a star and running the challenge when life has been tough for you.

    Hi everyone,

    Just could not sleep so have been updating my signature.

    Have just paid £400 towards the new challenge amount so that leaves me with £1200 to pay. Hoping to clear this before the end of the challenge. Just realised my last weekly pay date is next Tuesday and the monthly pay starts on Friday of the same week. After that will be slowing down a lot, but can't wait for the next challenge.

    Amara, thanks so much for running this challenge as it has kept me on focused and on track.

    I've been paid for my expenses, so I paid off another £75 today.

    So its now £831.66 paid, and £247.40 still to go.

    It's going to be close.
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done
