    £100 paid off CCs running total is £889. Nearly a third of the way and feeling like it is all very manageable! I hope everyone is doing well.

    Getting there slowly! Just goes to show what you can do when you put your mjnd to something. My od is only shrinking a little but I'm making progress on my cc can't wait to put the total down to 0 by the end of the year. Paid nearly £500 off but it's going to get tougher as my hours are really low this year, so making ends meet will be tight.
    Too much money owed, trying to pay it off one paycheck at a time
    Happiness comes from within, following your dreams and doing what you love :) :A

    It is amazing what can be done when you put your mind to it. I've been faffing around paying debt off since 2010/11 and initially thought i could be DF by 2012 hence user name. It's only recently I've got myself into gear and am actually making a difference. This challenge has made me feel better about paying things off as I can see light at the end of the tunnel - even though it's only for part of the overall debt. Bite size chunks.

    No more payments for me until 24/25th but should be a cracking amount then as bonus month for us :D One day I will spend my bonus on things for the kids and us, not bl00dy debt ! :D
