    Hi leictina, Hi all,

    A July update from me and all our DDs have been paid out. Not expecting any further payments - but who knows what might sneak through.....

    A total of £1,881 has been paid off this month.

    so that's £3,389/£10,000 paid off so far since joining the challenge.

    :j

    Happy Thursday!

    I know it's a bit late but is it possible to join. So far I've only been a lurker on these forums but I could really do with a kick up the behind as far as the pennies are concerned! I would like my target to be £800.

    How often do people post?

    Thank you DC1

    Fell off the MSE wagon for a couple of months... Although payments have still been made, I haven't made as many as I'd have liked! New totals in my signature! 39.9% of the way there... Aim to have it cleared before Christmas... :T

    No. 75 here, I'm feeling guilty because (a), haven't paid off so much over the past couple of months, and (b) haven't updated here for absolutely aaaaages!

    Anyway, I'm still plugging along. Up to £6,462.75/£10,000. Now £3,537.25 to my target.
