    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.

    Just decided to make another £100 payment so no at 97% :)
    Faced up to debts April 2009: £43099:eek:

    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!

    December Payments:

    Capital One: £1048.54
    Barclaycard: £500
    Barclaycard 2: £500
    Loan 1: £212.11
    Loan 2: £378.23
    Overdraft (paid in full) £500

    Total For December: £3138.88


    Totals so far:

    Jan 13 £733.09
    Feb 13 £684.87
    Mar 13 £1181.90
    April 13 £686.57
    May 13 £690.72
    June 13 £710.83
    July 13 £753.15
    August 13 £727.79
    September 13 £3786.80
    October 13: £690.34
    November 13: £760.94
    December 13: £3138.88

    TOTAL TO DATE £14545.88 / £15000.00
  • 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

    MIB

  • No. 75 again.

    Another payment made for £255.13 - which means I HAVE REACHED MY TARGET!!!

    This challenge has been good for me, and I'm going to keep plugging away! Now up to £10,122.42. I'm now £122.42 over my target!
