    Well done to Munchin, Beanielou, Determined Diva and Cyclura!
    No payments from me :( We were hard up when DH left his job and this one is monthly paid, so we have to wait .
    Keep going, everybody!

    With apologies to Amara for being so rubbish at keeping the thread updated with my progress recently, I've made my final payment today £850/£850 :j

    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done

    Well done, Karb!
    No payments from me, doesn't look like I'll pay anything in this challenge . DH gets pay end of the month and every penny we've got go towards flat's renovation . Sooner will be ready, better.

    I changed my signature. "£5400 in debt" sounded so negative. Writing about gain is so much better.
    Keep going, last push!

    I'm bowing out of this challenge now.

    My 3rd and final target was to clear the remaining 1300 on cc2 but after being burgled and uninsured (yes, I know) I had to replace some of what they had taken and cc2 was where it was charged to. This put my card back up to 2200 but have managed to reduce it to 1700 in the last week by putting lots of overtime in.

    I've still paid about 1k on different debts thanks to this challenge. Looking forward to part 13 and get rid of cc2 once and for all :)
