1 debt in 100 days part 6

It is with your support that I have achieved becoming Debt-Free. Without your love and kind words keeping me going I would have never paid off nearly £7,000 of credit card debt within this challenge alone.
You took something dark and horrific and turned it into a light-hearted and fun game where I was able to permanently change my way of thinking and buy back my freedom for good.
When I took on this challenge, I honestly never believed I would clear it all. I was hopeful to knock a couple of grand off, if that, but to finally see £0 on my credit card statements is so sureal! We have lived with debt for such a long time; it hasn't sunk in yet.
There are no losers in this challenge, only winners, every penny you pay off of your debt is a win and each win makes you stonger. I would have never become this strong without you all.
Best of Luck to Everyone out there,Love & Gratitute,

Ok, well, we didn't quite make it due to various unexpected expenses more than anything.
But, of the £240 we wanted to raise, we have just managed to push it up to £100 - £32 from our penny jar, £49 from ebaying old clothes and shoes, £10 by selling an ancient phone to a friend and the final £9 we have just gathered by emptying out our pockets, checking down the back of the sofa, looking in the car and picking the pennies out of the bottom of a 'stuff' drawer that we have.:j
So, we'll be rolling the debt onto the next challenge.
Well done everyone who has made their target, there are some amazing triumphs here :beer:0 -
Magpie 23, I am absolutely awe-inspired by your truly amazing effort.0

Congratulations, starnac, on the new arrival :T
Well done to everyone who managed to clear their target, and to the rest of us who are plodding along
I managed another £10 last week, can you update me Amara?
I will be on the next challenge but know I am very unlikely to be clearing all my debt as neither I nor OH is working
A big Thank You to you Amara for all your hard work :beer:
