Well,
I hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year.
Just totting up my final totals as was going to do yesterday but ended up out, not the quiet New Year I have planned!
Anyway, further payments of £400 made this month across all cc's. Making my total for the year:
£4262.98 which is 6% above target.
I'm so excited as I don't think I would have gotten anywhere without this thread as it just kept reminding me what I was trying to achieve. I hope the challenge will continue into 2014 as my debt number is now so low I just want it gone.
Best Wishes to you all.
