    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • Morning all,

    Glad to see people slowing (and for some - quickly!!) chipping away at their targets.

    I have to say without this challenge keeping me going I would DEFINITELY have spent money instead of paying it off the debt. Hadn't previously realised the true super power of the MSE challenges.

    So, for this month we have paid a nice little £700 off our last lonely debt.

    POAMAYC #137 reporting in with £9,095/10,000.

    the end is in sight.........

  • Hi guys,


    Sorry I don't update on a regular basis, but I'm still paying the debt.

    Total now stands at. £6850.48/£8000

    Don't think I will make my target for the end of the year, but I won't be far off it.
  • me again, another £200 paid bringing the total to £7050.48/£8000.

    nearly there, but think I will need a miracle to get to my target before end of the year.

  • No. 75 again.

    Discovered the dd for the credit card came out, but had obviously been calculated before I made my last payment to it so they took more than I thought they would - bonus! Now up to £9,867.29/£10,000. Now only £132.71 to go!

  • Hi, No 5 here , I'm sorry I haven't posted for a long time, but my circumstances changed so much since I have signed up it , I almost forgot that I was doing this challenge.

    From the original £2336 I have managed to go up to £5521 in a couple of months, but I have been paying some of it back dutifully every month. So by changing the original number to £5213 I have paid back £1013 since August.

    Total payments for Cc £1013 of / £5521
    CC consolidated to £3400
    Loan[STRIKE] £12770[/STRIKE] £7150 :eek:
    Mortgage :(
