    Unexpected money arrived at my bank account so made a huge overpayment. I will pay off the loan in a couple of days but for today I've reached the maximum amount my bank allows. So £10000 overpayment towards sainsburys.

  • Payments of £73.71 made today so thats £2930.24 paid. Payday tomorrow:j Just totted up the holiday spend and its £500+ for pretty much 6 nights camping, food, petrol etc but still cheaper than anything we could find abroad. Credit cards up somewhat but should be able to lower that down nicely once I'm paid:)
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    hi all

    Going to declare today on: £13617.88

    I've accepted that i won't be debt free by my birthday which was a huge goal of mine. Will just keep plodding. Some decisions i have taken have held me back - overpaying on the mortgage - if i'd diverted those funds these last few months i'd be debt free and just tackling the mortgage now but i am happy with my decision and the reasons behind it :) I also didn't put the brakes on any holiday plans this year (which i have been doing these last few years) have been on some fab trips and more to come and as i'm not getting any further into debt to do this then i am again happy with the decision :) I [STRIKE]should[/STRIKE] will be debt free by the end of the year and will have paid a little extra off the mortgage too.

    Alot of this is thanks to this challenge and the support of everyone especially jwil x
    CC1:T £[STRIKE]2531[/STRIKE] £1460
    MORTGAGE OVERPAYMENTS: £10575.20 Target £12,100
