    All paid off this morning:j:j

    £2510/2510

    It's such a nice feeling that it's all paid off and love how this challenge kept me on track. Can't wait for the next challenge if there is one..

    Only 2 debts left now and with this debt paid off, will have a little extra to throw at CC2.

    Im still following this thread but personally I have totally lost it this time. I think my mind has been focused on my impending redundancy and getting my business up and running.

    I will be back properly if there is another challenge. I need to get these debts gone.

    Keep going.

    Parsniphead, I know what you're mean. I'm not doing well myself, but I bought two cars and started new qualification course, it all costs money. But at least these are money well spend.

    HI, can I join please
    £122 for cottage for you.
    I know it's not a massive amount but only one more pay day until the end of the challenge I think? So for me thats quite a big chunk in one go. Have Bootfiar tomorrow so hope that raises some funds. Ebay next week too.

    Hi everyone,

    It has been ages since I last posted. I had to slow down as quite a few unexpected things came up.

    Anyhow I have made the final payment today so debt is now at £4,171/£4,171- and can now put this challenge to bed. It has meant that money I was putting aside for another debt I have used to finish up this challenge.

    I am wondering if I should add this other debt to the challenge which is £1,750, I have 3 pay dates left before the end of the challenge. It will be quite a bit of a squeeze to get this cleared.

    Thanks Amara,

    Sometimes I feel like am going one step forwards and 2 steps back.

    Had to slow down as I did not get paid this week - manager forgot to approve my time sheet. I will have to wait until next week to get paid now.

    I am going to keep plodding along.
