    Hi all

    Hope you have all had a great weekend and here's to a great weekend ahead.

    Have updated my signature as I've managed to put another £450 towards the savings pot which will be used against the debt. This means I have 88.5% paid off so far this year and this thread has definitely made a difference. Thank you for all the posts showing how well everyone is doing. Keep going - we're getting there.

    Hi everyone, 141 here. All of my October bills have now gone out so I have updated my signature. I should reach 100% of my 25k target in November!


    Have also paid off two credit cards this month. One of them was nearly 9k in January so I feel like I've reached a milestone.


    I will snowball the money onto the next loan from next month. I'm hoping that loan will also be gone by the end of the year. I can see the light!!!

    OMG! I'm back online! Goodbye 2GB mobile data limit, hello forum :)

    I have two months of people's updates to trawl through and update, I may be some time... :rotfl:

    See you on the other side!

    Right, you lovely lot. Our total for August and September were...

    August - £29,641.58

    September - £34,962.25


    :beer::beer::beer::beer:

    They're fantastic figures, bolstered by some returnees who have been chugging away in the background. Well done each and every one of you.

    Another major landmark has just been breached - we've now paid off over half a million pounds already this year!

    Of course, plenty of you have reached debt freedom, or at least reached your 2015 targets. Which leads on to the medal ceremony...
