    Hi and good morning all,

    Just made my final payment for the challenge £1200 so that's it for me. Now paid off the Debenhams card and have written the letters to close 4 cards accounts and ready to send out to them later today.

    In all I have managed to pay off 3 credit cards and one store card (and my tax bill). I can't wait for the next challenge as I have my eye on the Tesco CC and want that to be gone so badly. Two of my loan payments will end in July so I can't wait for that!!!!

    Amara thanks for agreeing to run the next challenge - looking forward to it.

    Hi Starnac,

    I'm a night owl and tend to get up in the middle of the night for a bit and then go back to bed. I was just itching to check to see if my very last weekly pay had come in so that I could pay off my Debenhams card. I am on holiday for 2 weeks and everything seems to go so slowly. Anyway since I can't pay anything more down until May, I will just have to occupy myself with finishing off my assignment.

    Good luch everyone.

  • wow. I cant believe the amounts peopl ehave paid off of their debts during this challenge. Some payments have been more than my total income :). Anyway I am not going to manage this so unless I get a windfall so I will carry it over until next challenge along with another small debt. I will work it all out prior to the 24th. I am still really pleased with what I have managed to do. Well done again everyone.
