    I was wondering if I can join in the challenge? At the end of December 2013 my debt sat at £425.18, and right now it is £407.83.

    Hi,

    #31 checking in

    Glad to see everyone is moving in the right direction and some nice payments coming through.

    Its payday for us and I've made all of April's transfers a day early. Am never usually THIS organised but maternity leave is offering up some free time at random times in the day & night when baby is sleeping.

    Have transferred £750 payment to our 0% fluid credit credit card.
    That means we have paid a total of £2,825/3072 in this challenge.
    a very juicy 91% :j

    Next month is looking all rather likely to see our debt free day.:D

    All of the credit cards will be paid off in full.... fingers crossed no dramatic financial emergencies arise in the meantime.

    MIB x

    Congratulations on beating 90%! Very excited for your debt free day :)

    Most of mine is made up of one large debt where I believe I will be able to get a lump sum settlement towards christmas time if I am very lucky, the rest is smaller debts and arrears I need to pay off.

    £4142.49/ £131,795.91 - 3.14% paid off or only £129,608.80 to go!
