    Welcome to the team theposhbint! Love your username! I'll add you to the 2nd post.

    Just thinking, your debt is with a number of providers so I'm wondering if you'd also like to join the "pay off a debt in 100days" challenge so you can have smaller goals along the way...? I'm going to do this too and I believe the next 100days starts day after tomorrow (24th) so it's a perfect time for us to join up just so we can stay focussed over Christmas and stay on target

    Thanks, I was intending to join the next 100 days challenge, somehow got it into my head it started 1st Dec though.. will double check, I've probably got it wrong :) Off to revise my debt tackling spreadsheet :D

    No, it was my mistake! The current one ends tomorrow so just assumed that the new one started straight but managed to track it down and it does start on 1st Dec so a bit longer to wait...grrrrrrrrr

  • Thank you, its been a struggle maintaining my payments, and want to start next year knowing it will all hopefully (crosses fingers and toes) be clear by the end.

    Great to find people who understand how hard it can be!
