    Not been around for a few weeks, due to starting a full time new job..


    But here to report that my goal was to pay off a CC of £830.00 well as from today I owe £77.00 - I had hoped to have it cleared in 100 days but still really pleased how far I have come..... and it will be paid off at beginning of DEC


    Just realised that I get my first pay packet on 27th Nov - so it looks like I might just of made this challenge after all

  • Hi all...

    Well - I didn't make my goal this time round, but reached over 50% of my goal... Bit disappointing - but 50% is better than 0% right? I'm putting it down to some unexpected expenses and if I'm honest - I wasted money where I could have saved...

    End of challenge figures:

    £1125.00/£2000.00 cleared.

    I see the next Debt Challenge is up and so I'm going to sign up!!! Thanks Amara!!!

  • Amara- Thank you for this challenge! As of tomorrow morning I will have that last pesky £200 cleared- so I will post again tomorrow to make it official, even if it is a day after the challenge has finished :)

    I will be signing up for the next challenge- but it will be saving if that is ok?

    Congrats everyone who has made payments in the last 100 days, however big or small, that bit of your debt is gone for good! :)
