    Yay!!

    So good to feel like I've actually achieved something. :T
    Big congrats :)
  • 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,

    A big congratulations and a :money: from me, your post is really inspiring, especially the second last paragraph. For me this challenge has been about saving but it's amazing to hear how life changing it can be.

    I wish you many debt free years to come, well done :)
    Thank you competition posters!
  • 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:
  • Magpie 23, I am absolutely awe-inspired by your truly amazing effort.
  • Magpie23, thank you for the inspiring words:A

    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:
