    Fab total and percentage, I'm well jel because I'm hot on your heels total wise but so far behind with my percentage :eek: You must be so excited...do you have a target DFD in mind?

    Hi SpagBol!

    Yes I'm really pleased with how the debt is going down! I'm finding it a bit more difficult now that I'm on the home straight though..

    I hope to clear the remaining by the end of June, it'll mean hardly any food this month but it will be worth it :rotfl:

    You're doing great with your totals!! I love this thread, I don't get to post very often but I love to see how everyone is getting on - it helps my motivation!!!

    No debt update for me this week, I've had the expensive cost of buying new glasses (but I get £50 back from work in a couple of months towards them), and a new car tyre this week. At least I made sure I got a free pair of sunglasses with the glasses!

    Pay day in 4 days!! :T

    I do have to share my housemates lovely tan with you though, as I think she shocked the neighbours yesterday. She sunbathed her front on Friday so needed to do her back yesterday. However, her version of tanning her back was to take her bikini top off, and wear a G string....all very well as long as you don't move the string then you only get one line....except she moved it at some point and came away with the funniest double crossed T shape ever hahahahahaa!!! Sorry shouldn't laugh, but it was BRIGHT red as well oops! Maybe I'll call her baboon later.

    Hi Folks,

    It's good to hear that you're all enjoying the sunshine, even if some of you are getting burnt, tut tut,why do we do it to ourselves? We know we should put suncream on, we know what's going to happen if we don't, we know how painful it's going to be, and yet we still think 'ah it'll be okay'.
    :naughty:

    Well superheavy's cider and ice sounds all very nice, but it's been very wet, chilly and windy here so just at the moment a nice Hot Apple Cider sounds much more appropriate.

    Spagbol, well done on achieving the 15% milestone. I can't decide which method I prefer, tidying up the milestones or tidying up the debt figure, so I end up doing neither :rotfl:

    We're seeing some excellent percentages at the moment, so it's a thrilling time and very motivational for everyone.

    ashleighsam - Best wishes to your FIL, and you've got to do what you've got to do :)

    Mrs Addicted to spending
    - well done on achieving 50%, you're right on track for being debt free by the end of the year.

    vw campervan mum
    - Thanks for your support too :D

    Katie950 - Here's to the end of June :T Hubby and I are on rubber chicken for the next 2 weeks, if I thought I could be debt free by the end of June I'd have it 4 weeks. :rotfl:

    Kerri_dfw - You've obviously had chance to mull over your facts and figures whilst you've been sat somewhere twixt Nuneaton and Tamworth :rotfl::rotfl:, your brain must have been whirring away.

    I've had a delicate stomach this week with a 24-hour stomach bug, I thought I'd got over it until I read about the G-string wearing sunbather, now I'm getting an uneasy queasy feeling again. _pale_

    minicooper - Maybe no update from you this week but here's to hearing from you again in 4 days :T

    News from Kerfuffle Kabin - No payment update from me, spare change has gone in a tin and I'm hoping to make an additional payment to the debt, I'm just waiting for my credit card bill to come to see how much of the cash gets swallowed up by that :o

    For approximately the last 10 days I've been doing the Fiscal Fast Challenge (link here) hence the reference to rubber chicken for the next 2 weeks, and the reason why hopefully I'll have some cash to put towards the debt.

    Good luck with the week ahead everybody, another week closer to the end of the year and debtfreeness :j

    I've had it on subscribe for a while now but decided not to join them as i'm already an active member of 3 challenges which I try to post regularly on and thought adding another one was a bit too much for me :o I go over sporadically and see if they have found any more easy surveys etc though ;)

    Morning all... I am soooo tired. Had about 3 hours sleep before getting up at 5am yesterday for car boot but I made over £60 so that was fine, then I was up until 4.30 this morning writing my uni dissertation. I still have at least 2000 words to write before I can send it tomorrow. I woke up at 7.30 and couldn't get back to sleep so I'm up already!

    Still no more debt busting for me, Ill be paying a little bit on payday but not much until I'm either back to work or can cash more shares in!
