    Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been around much. I've got visitors so a lot going on at the moment.

    Well done to everyone who's made a payment and sorry to those who are leaving us.

    Well done headoutthesand for reaching target :j :j

    I won't be running the challenge next year as I will have too much going on what with baby due in Feb and everything else. If anyone else would like to take the reins, they'd be very welcome and I'd like to join in!

    it's been nice not having to post on here regularly lol

    £25.30 sent to my new 0% CC so at least i'm saving pennies somewhere xx

    Brings my total to £4194.84 / £5000

    Hoping to bite the bullet next month and pay off my couch as it's due to be cleared by 10th december but seeing as i've had to leave my job i will use my final wage from my work to cover this then that means i only have my CC to worry about :) oh also going to clear my lawyer fees as well which will free up £100 a month as well :) so next month will hopefully clear two debts

    sorry for rambling xx
