I’ve done it....as of today I’m debt free!!
I have to say a massive thank you to Jemma, when you started this thread in November I knew that for me the end was in sight but still just slightly out of reach...or so it seemed. Having a date to focus on really pushed me on to tighten my budget, review my priorities and get my head down for the final sprint.....and the rest as they say is history.
Jemma you’re an absolute star for starting and managing this challenge :T – thank you xx
And so for my final update:

You’re all doing so incredibly well and the support you give one another is amazing...I apologise for not being a regular contributor, sadly RL tends to get in the way, but I do read regularly and will continue to do so as I cheer you all across the finishing line.

The original target was Christmas eve this year, so that we were all debt free come Christmas day.
I think a few people have had to be a little flexible (I'll probably be a month late) and others just set a target portion of debts to clear by then.
I'm sure that this will run into a new thread for those that don't make Christmas eve
The nice thing is that it's done what it really set out to do, and that was just get us all focused and have a measurable goal to aim for. I think it's really helped a lot of us prioritise what's important financially. :cool::jDebt Free By Xmas 2013 #010 £16,660.26/£16,660.26 100% paid, DFD 25/06/13!:j0 -
