    :hello:

    Hi all 100 dayers xxx

    Managed another £60.00 today making £720 paid off and £280.00 remaining. I think that I can get another 100 in before we finish on the 3rd so won't fully complete but will be close :j Will make sure all this challenges payments are in before the end.

    Thanks to Amara for running the thread :kisses: and for all the inspiration from everyone :heartsmil and well done to everyone who made huge dents in debts and to those who cleared them during the challenge :T:T

    Do I see another challenge on the horizon for 15th? Would be great :j

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(

    hi everyone,

    This time round I have really struggled (trying to get the hang of being paid monthly) to stay the course of this challenge. Well I have made it and paid the last 647.86 on Friday,so that is me cleared for this one.

    Glad to say that these are now put to bed. The Tesco card was the only one that was not on 0% so it had to go as quickly as possible.

    Will be signing up for the next challenge for August 15th. Now that I have 3 more debts to go - not sure which to put down for the challenge. Need to also get ready to pay the dreaded tax debt which is due in November.

    Sorry for the ramblings.

    Well done everyone and thanks Amara for putting on this challenge again.

    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.
    Aiming to be debt free by December 2016:D
  • Thank you Amara. Yes please put me down for the next challenge. I've so many I'm not sure which to choose but if I say £2,000 for the next one it will get my cc1 to a balance which I'm happy with. Thanks.
    1 debt in 100 days.
    1. O/D £1166.40 now paid :j
    2. CC1: £2,000

    I cant make the payment yet but I have had a PPI complaint upheld and will have just over £1800 coming in a couple of days, that will be my balance cleared and my MBNA card as well :j it might end up being a few days late but I did it :beer:

    EDIT: I am up for the new challenge, I will want to clear £1000 off of my M and S cc as the 0% runs out next year and its quite high
    Debt Free...yay! 10/09/2013 :j

    Well done to all of those who met their targets, I've finally managed to clear mine too :). After many years of struggling I have no debt anymore, so I think I'll have to find a savings challenge!

    Make sure you post on debt free roll of honour- well done!:beer:
