Hi you don't have to bow out of the thread because you won't clear your debt by Xmas - quite a lot of us won't either. However, if you don't feel you can stay, then best of luck with paying debt off next year .

Absolutely. Our debt free date isn't until 2015, but I've just set a target of £10K to clear by Christmas this year. I'm hoping someone will do another challenge for 2013, and 2014, and 2015! :rotfl:

50% cleared is still brilliant, just think where you would be if you hadn't joined our club

That's the spirit! Life throws all sorts of rubbish at us, the most important thing is that we don't just chuck money away like we would have done pre-LBM.

Actually, can I claim some Brownie points to offset the whole "booking a holiday" thing this week? I got my usual Next sale VIP invitation this week. Normally I'd go online and spend £3,4,500 plus without even blinking on clothes for me, hubby and the kids and house stuff that we don't need, just because it's half price. This time I've not booked a slot and haven't spent a penny at all! :j:j

Dont you worry about your setback Karrie, we still want you here and to support your journey dont you go anywhere!

Ooooo my husband is so cheeky! We just went to cambridge and he's all 'I can walk, its ok' and then nicks my bloomin mobility scooter so I had to go borrow one from the mobility centre :eek: and THEN decided he liked that one better so made me swap!! :eek:
I've now got him his own card so when we go he can borrow his own and leave me and my noddy car alone :rotfl:

Brilliant! If you can clear 50% by Christmas then you are half way to being debt free :j.

:A:A that's so good! I didn't go to the sale either even though my friends were going. Mind you they were going at 5am :eek: and so the incentive wasn't quite so great. I've definitely figured that if I stay out of the shops, I won't spend as much ... :rotfl:. I am the 'queen of the obvious' this morning.
