Pay ALL your debt off by Xmas 2015!

Been a busy couple of days since starting this challenge. I have pretty much emptied my rainy day fund to make an impact on my debt. Even though it's a scary thought seeing the savings total go down to zero it's a great psychological boost to see the debt amount go in the right direction. So with that in mind -

:j Duke 848 WOW that's amazing, well done!
It's so motivating to see people chipping away at their debts.
I made a little dent today, managed to tweak my Sky bill with some small offers for the next 3 months - split with OH £9.45 each. Even considering ditching it as the bill is really an expensive luxury!

Just made a payment to my Luma CC; I have been getting a bit confused with payments made and interest added etc so will update whenever I check current balances rather than just payments made if that makes sense?!DFBXmas 2015 £1933 / £2733
