  • Hope you feel better soon Betty Xx

    Are we continuing this thread next year or starting a brand new one??

    hiya chuck, thanks for the wishes, i'm on the homeward straight now, just as well as i'm back at work tomorrow.
    I think we'll have a shiny new one, we can all start on zero and maybees make an opening declaration as to what the extra payment is for. I know some have paid off their debt but still want to join in with an extra payment to their savings/goal etc. I know my focus has changed now I have my cc balance on a 0% card so I will be declaring some new goals in mine. Can't wait :j

I really want to rejoin this thread next year but have cleared all my debts so feel a bit of a fraud But was hoping to start a little savings account for Christmas next year so if that's allowed would be privileged to join all you lovely people on the next challenge. Look forward to seeing everyone's progress and will be cheering from the sidelines if you will have me"

    Hi Mavvymoo, that's brilliant, well done! :T
    I was on another challenge with you when you cleared a fortune !! I think it was "1 debt vs 100 days". You were such an inspiration on there, I found your success really motivating.
    Have you posted on the DFW honours list yet?
    Best wishes,

    Thanks I think I'll wait a couple of days and join in then. Will give me a good start.

    I've found some money I was owed from Topcashback and another £50 on You Gov so I've applied to withdraw them and can pay those off when they arrive too :D

    Hi,

    Can I please join for 2013? I really loved this thread and got off to a good start in 2012 but fell off the wagon early on due to family stuff and never got back on.

    I really need to clear some debts this year and this challenge will really help. Good luck everyone! :D
