  • I've done it! Debt free! Well, apart from my student loan, but that comes straight out of my wages, and i don't actually earn enough to pay it back so...whooohooo! 252.42 paid off making my total £2204.53 which is over my original estimation, but i wasn't far off lol!

    so here it is, my last official post!

    £2204.53/£2117

    now i need to find a thread similar to this for saving...can anyone suggest a good one?

  • Well done:j £75 paid off the Barclaycard so that's £3950.76/£5684.54. I might even manage my target this year:eek: Although there is actually £3888 to go but still won't be far to go next year and fingers crossed I might get a pay rise for the first time in 5 years:)
    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
