    I made my first big payment today, of $690.09! EEEEEEE! So I've now paid off a total of $765.09/12,000. I'm so excited...hope I can keep this momentum going!
    Since March 2012:
    Paid off: $3,985.80

    I attempt to clear all my debts by my 30th birthday at frugalcitygirl.com!

    Can I join in the challenge please? I love a challenge and this sounds just about doable. I did try the olympic challenge but I have to admit it was never going to be achievable. Can you put me down for £9044.26

    Hey Folks (special Hi to Dragon for orgnaising another challenge thread)

    I would love to join, the Commonweatlh games are in my home city and kicks off around my birthday - yay! So hopefully by the opening/closing ceremeony I'll be celebrating too.

    Please put me down for     £23585.84:mad:

    I'll be continuing to update my Olympic total too. Here I'll be updating every month when the CC bills arive (get confused working out interest so want to keep it simple).

    But have been putting my 'smash' into a separate bank account (that I wasn't really using) and will be making additional payments when I can. Hopefully this will keep me focussed as I'll be updating more regularly!
    LBM 03/07 £44k:eek: DFD 31/12/17 :A 12/17 £2545.50
    Credit Card £2500.00 & Next £45.00
    Savings = £81.21 & Help To Buy ISA = £4700.00
