Afternoon everyone

We all seem to be smashing the January debts :T I took a pair of DH's boots back for a refund today as the lining had split. He couldn't find any others he liked so he said he will make do with his old ones - excellent! That's £99 paid back to my B/C then....

Haha every day I check the site I've got my fingers crossed but not even a tenner yet :doh:Nooo, freepostcodelottery prize is now £630. My postcode didn't come up though, mehhhh. Could have done with that.
Quality is good - you can get the frames posted to you to try them out for free before you order glasses too which is good! I got really annoyed in Specsavers last time I went cos I'd spent AGES picking out which pairs I wanted and when I gave them to the woman she told me they didn't suit me - that wasn't what I'd asked and I didn't really care what she thought!! :mad:I've never tried them! What is the quality like?
I'm hoping my work still does the free vouchers and discounts, I got sunglasses and glasses two years ago with the reflective stuff on (for driving) and it worked out fairly cheap.0 -

Payment of £1,200 today (Ebay is great!!!). So happy to drop below the £20k mark. Whilst I know this is still a massive amount, compared to £40k+ it's such a good feeling watching the debt dwindle down. Definitely going to keep me motivated to get this debt down to £0!
#119 £23,108/£42,908 (53.9%)
Keep going everyone! :T0 -
I have had a lovely afternoon reading this thread full of lovely and supportive people smashing their debt freedom goals!
My only regret is that I didn't join the 2014 thread because I didn't think I was "eligible", oh well coulda, woulda shoulda!
I am so looking forward to this year and bring the debt busting on!

Hi guys,
Ive finally had my lightbulb moment, and am ready to become debt free. Having done my sums this should be possibnle by October 2015, so to give myself a little leeway I think debt free by Xmas 2015 will be perfect for me!
£0/£6250LBM January 2017 £34k will have paid back finally by my DFD May 2021got my first store card on my 18th birthday, never known a life without the grey cloud of debt looming over me. 18yrs and the end is finally in sight 🤩0 -

Wow! You're absolutely smashing your target!0 -
Well I'm checking in again, I'm #038!
I just made another big payment of £292 today! It was some backdated money that I totally had not counted on but I've been able to pay off my catalogue debt. It feel incredibly good and I've been able to bring my debt free date forward.
I love being a part of this thread, its the perfect place to come and feel positive about making the decision to throw that extra £ at the debt.
So, I'm now at £588/£1378
Keep at it guys. :jI AM DEBT FREE!0 -
Just won £1000..... so will be heading up town Tues to bank that. Normally I would spend spend spend but I'm using if all to pay debt! Just deciding now what to pay ��0
