    Sixth Anniversary Combo Breaker Debt-free and Proud!
    Morning all, congrats to all those now debt free! :j

    I'm nearly there with my remaining loan and tax credit overpayment, only £425 left to pay! The figures I was using on here were obviously slightly out so I've adjusted my total paid to reflect the actual balance I have remaining. So I'm on:

    #9 £4258/4683 (90%)

    On the down side I used my one remaining open CC account to pay for a hotel in Paris (very naughty :mad:). Fortunately though the balance is only £200 and i should be able to pay that all off once I've finally paid back this loan next month!

    Getting there gradually....the end is in sight... :)
    Starting 2016 debt-free :D

    I'll be seeing you on this thread next year then, as I won't be debt free by Christmas either. Just done a snowball calculator with my full debt figures (make that my DH's debt figures) and it should be Feb 2017 for us. Seems such a long way away...
  • I will be seeing you guys also. Been a bit of a tough year in some respect but fully back on the wagon hacking away at the debt.
