    Thank you Starnac,

    I'm looking forward to sometime next week when I can report reaching over halfway just like you! -- just realised I'm already there!!:beer:

    I sway from wanting to pile it all on one to clear it or chip away at the 2 so they reduce together - either way they have both got to go by the end of this 100 day challenge!!

    Maybe clear the one with the highest interest first. You might only save pennies but look after the pennies and the pounds look after themselves!

    Morning All!

    I managed to work some overtime last month and was able to pay in some extra reaching my target way ahead of schedule!!!

    :T £250.00/£250.00 :T

    Am keeping on this thread as it's a long time until the challenge is up and the cash saved is sat in a savings account... Although I saved £250 this time - I need to save another £500 before I have enough to pay my ex - and want to surprise him and give it him all at Christmas. So... What I'm saying is - I have to avoid the temptation of dipping back into it if things get tight!!! When we reach the target date will check back and report if the cash is still saved! (Am determined!!!).

    Keep going everyone!!! xxx

    Hi everyone, you are all doing great! I managed to pay off another lump of my debt so I now only owe £200. I will do my best to pay this off before the end of the challenge.
  • £20.00 off the credit card today, £180/£850.

    I had hoped it would be much more but I didn't get paid back pay I was owed for some reason.:mad:

    Frodo that's terrible. Have you rang them to ask why?

    Well done abundant maybe you could save more towards e money you owe your ex during the remainder of the challenge?

    Dumpling well done £200 doesn't sound that much now does it. Keep at it
