    105 days until debt free date... £34.76 per day

    It seems so unreachable, but I am determined to get as close to this as I possibly can!! Would even be happy entering a new year with only one debt remaining!!

    You are doing superbly and the only way to achieve great things is to aim high so keep going for it. You'll either hit it or be pretty darn close. Don't let go - keep pushing on! :) x

    I have £250 in my savings account, think this should be more than enough for holiday in four weeks :)

    So all other money can go on the debt busting.. Still hoping to make another family payment in the next few days.. Trying to figure out how much I can afford.

    Feeling confident about being debt free tho :D
