    Wow, lindsloo, you are on a mission, very inspiring!!! I'm waiting for my CC statement to come through, so I can make my next payment. It's currently at £490, and I'm hoping to get it sub £400 by the end of this month :p

    Aww thanks eyebright. Don't know what it is about this challenge but it turns me into a bill paying maniac lol. No other challenge motivates me like this one, love it and the buzz of when you see a big fat zero on the statement.

    Yay, I'm out of the starting blocks and I've made a few payments, I'm doing a PAD and then my min payment went out too, so I've paid

    £47.16/£1000

    I'm pleased with my progress so far, I'll be having a nice lumpsum going out midmonth, so hopefully I'll be half way after that, but we'll have to wait and see.

    Well done everyone, you're all doing really well :j

    Hello!
    Well done everyone, specially Lindsloo :) Great result. Pesto and Ipool999, welcome in the challenge .

    I've got a confession to make. I've bought on end of May- that's a good news. Bad one is I've used my credit card to fund remaining amount and now I'm £5400 in debt. So I need to change my goal: £5400. I'm not going to do it , specially, that I still have some work to do in my property, worth aproximely £1500. But every little helps :) My first goal : £400, to make it round.

    Paid £108.93 today.

    £108.93 / £1300 Target 3, CC2.

    Amara you're not the only one who's been naughty. I've just bought tickets to take family to Chessington next weekend to celebrate my birthday. I've also kept some of my overtime back as I'm going out for a birthday meal on Sunday just in case I have to pay or buy any bits over the weekend. Anything not spent by Sunday evening is being transferred straight over.
