    Always look forward to payday sexyshark!! Not going to clear anything entirely in September, but nervous/focused on not overspending and running back up the o/d we've just cleared! Especially now I've gone and published it online !!!:smiley:

    That's right people!!!

    Fight that debt like Rocky fighting the Russian dude!

    Even when you feel all beat up and your bank balance looks like his face (after a fight) and punches are landing on you from council tax, overdraft fees and interest charges, you keep working away and cut that debt down to size!! I can hear the trumpets sounding off in the background as I climb the metaphorical steps of debt-free....ness.

    All my debts are quite large (already got rid of the smaller ones) so it might be a while before I can post on here with a "Wahoo" :o but looking forward to joining you!! You're all inspiring me to keep going!

    In the last few weeks, I've paid off my Capital One card (£2100), my Barclaycard (£250), and my New Look card (£101). So just my Natwest loan to go of just under £7,000 which shouldn't take too long.

    Hi all,

    Have just taken the first of seven steps towards being debt free, finally paid off my Santander Credit Card. It's the smallest amount (£1020) but it feels great to phone them up and cancel the account, chop up the card then delete all mention of it from spreadsheet.

    Happy days !!
