    Fedupandskint, wow, bang! and the debt is gone haha. You are making great strides, keep it up and you'll have to change your username.

    Ok so I've pm'd Inamin to ask if they are ok to start new thread and announce totals etc as i didnt want to step on anyones toes, ive left it a couple of weeks but not had a reply so I'm going to carry on (no disrepect intended) as times getting on now. I cant thank inamin enough for this thread, its been one of the major plus' of the year for me and thats why it must continue, so others can benefit too. Theres always a friendly word and a gentle nudge and it makes a difference to peoples lives thats why we should post our totals and celebrate success.

    Hi Everyone long time no speak :o Glad to see everyone still doing so well :T I have posted my total for this year in the thread kindly started by Betty. 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 :)

    Debt free and Mortgage free thank you to all for your encouragement and advice
