Yeah I know, just about there.
I am hoping I get lucky with a scratchcard or the Free Postcode Lottery and get a couple of hundred £££ win.
Doubt that would happen though.
:j:j:j
:rotfl::rotfl:I've recently been thinking a nice rollover win on the FPL would help too!! Don't do scratchcards so that's never going to happen to me :cool:
Good luck and finger's crossed for a win for you though

#001 £4720 / £49000
It is my payday tomorrow so I will pay off £280 to give us over 10% paid off, a nice round number of £5k and a new target of £44,000 :j I thought we would be starting at £45k in 2015 so that is an unexpected bonus :j
Thank you so much to minicooper you have been brilliant this year, much better than I was last year :rotfl::T:A:beer:DMP started Oct '17: £79,974 :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:0 -
This was supposed to be my last payment of the year but I am only £23 short of paying off £5k this year so I may have another look to see if I can squeeze it from somewhere

#87 £4977.17/£9827.73 or 50.6%
:j over 50% paid off :j I'm so pleased. Thank you to minicooper for running this thread and thank you to everyone who posts here. Everyone is so encouraging and supportive

I've not posted for a couple of months but have still been busy paying it off
#129 £8747.99 / £9016
That means I have one payment of £268.01 left to pay which would normally go out by direct debit on the 25th but should now go on the 29th, so I won't officially be debt free for Christmas but will be before the year is outDebt free by end of 2014
£6963.74 / £9016
Grocery Challenge £300 per month0
