Comments

Hi everyone,
I bit the bullet made the payment I was dreading (£1,750), it has been a tight squeeze leaving me with just £20 until next week Friday. Hey ho, I am so glad that this particular debt is gone and I can get back to a bit of normality.
Not sure what the next step will be for me debtwise - which to tackle next or to try to save and have a buffer for a rainy day, at the moment I am temping.
BBOriginal debt at LBM July 2008, £47, 654.34. Debt at January 2016, £21,443. Barclaycard [STRIKE]£9,000[/STRIKE]£8,756, Tesco cc [STRIKE]£3000[/STRIKE]£1,136. Debenhams storecard [STRIKE]£350[/STRIKE]£263, OD [STRIKE]£3,500[/STRIKE] £3,000, Corp Tax £3,036, Study loan £1,750, Smaller debts £2,000.
Since my LBM I have not been fully committed so now I have had a 2nd LBM.

Hi everybody!
BornToTravel, you've done very well, over 50% more then you planned.
I don't think I'll make much more payments. Not easy.
My son is four today. I remember I took maternity leave from this challenge , when he was born
. Time flies .
Keep going everyone!0 -

Hiya
Hope everyone is well and the targets are going in the right direction....just remember it's not the speed it's the direction!
I know what you mean Amara about time flying...doesn't seem like 23 years since my boy was a babe.
I've paid another £155 off the debt so my total for this challenge is £700..am pleased with that so that means for the next challenge my target will be £300.
Am so pleased I found this challenge
