Evening All,
Last but one payment of the challenge:eek: Where has the year gone?
So 121 reporting in and a further £300 paid, should be able to make some extra during the month hopefully but we will just have to see.
So now at £3762.98/£4000 which is 94% of target. Can I make target before end of year, well I'm going to try my hardest.

Hello everyone! #119 Reporting in...
It's almost time to complete the challenge! I have made some December payments and i'm almost there! I'm hoping to make a couple more payments off the credit cards before the end of the month so I may creep a little bit closer again to my final target but if I don't i'm still proud of how far I've come. Its been a year of financial ups and downs to say the least but i do think i'm a lot wiser and ready to take on the 2014 version!

Hi All,
137 reporting in here.
Hope the midweek, pre xmas blues are not harming too many on your DF journey.
Woah Tia - that's an impressive set of numbers you've racked up there!
I just wanted to pop on to say we've made the Dec payment on our single remaining lonely 0% credit card and have squeezed out a decent payment this month. £910
This means we have reached our POAMAYCin2013 goal.......:beer:
£10,005/£10,000
I can, hand on heart, say that we would not have paid back this much debt without this challenge.
There have been so many potential spend distractions we "want" when in fact we don't "need" them. This challenge has guilted us into saying a big no to unnecessary purchases.
V chuffed with this result
Cheers
