    I've paid off £68 in PAD already since the 27th so I'm on track to pay £200 on top of my normal repayments. I have to say that giving myself the challenge of paying off at least 5% of my goal every month is a great incentive.
    Targets: [STRIKE]OD1 300[/STRIKE] OD2 1500 CC1 4950 CC2 1495 (Loan: 10,000 0%)
    Totals: £17945 [STRIKE]£24850[/STRIKE] (£6905/27,78% paid off)

    Hello all, I managed to pay off £424.53 on 1st January, would have paid more but had to bail out DH, this should even out towards the end of the month and Pay day. Well done everyone for all your achievements so far and a Happy New Year to you all.

    Happy new year everyone. I have managed to get another 90p into my overdraft account and a whopping £137 into DH's overdraft account as we had a surprising PPI Claim payment. So total so far stands as £185.45/£4808 which is nearly 4% so am getting there slowly. Well done everybody else who's managed to add to their overpayments. Hopefully I will be able to add about £50 to my overdraft account at the end of the month as long as I stick to the grocery challenge

    Hellooo and happy new year to all on the challenge. It was two years ago I found this site and in particular this challenge and it really has turned my debt situation around. The help and support on here is amazing and it really helps to keep you focussed having to come and 'report' your totals.

    I have not made any overpayments yet as I am worried that Jan is going to be a long month but I will be back :D and looking forward to getting on with the debt busting this year.

    Good luck everyone :j
