    Hello everyone!

    My most recent milestone is breaking through 90% paid back and I am almost at the 100% mark;)

    As I am almost debt-free, I thought I would break down the remaining time into weeks and I have just 8 weeks left. We have paid back a massive £44,885 and have just £1,326 left to pay:D

    I've put the champagne on ice for now and will just have a large G&T with ice:cool:

    Happy New Year to you all:)

    I've finally paid off my Barclaycard this weekend. At it's highest it was £10,200 it's taken me about 2 years to pay it off.

    Another 7 months and I'll be debt free!

    We are now £1 under £70k debt:j

    Just two years ago joined this forum and went into setting up a DMP owing almost £95k. Payments didn't start until March. So 22 months of DMP has seen our debt reduce by in excess of £24K. Prior to being on a DMP our debt just stagnated (treading water paying interest), or increased.

    We haven't paid £24k because we have been fortunate enough to settle one debt at a discount....but it all counts to me :)

    Sounds daft to be so ecstatic at sub £70k debt, but that's me :D
