    Morning all,

    Thank you for the good wishes re: my debt-free status. It's not sunk in yet and probably won't do until next payday when I have a chunk of money left that would normally go to paying debts;)

    All totals updated where requested, we've got some great amounts so far. I love this challenge and putting my ££'s away is now part of my normal daily routine. I think it's amazing how it mounts up through the year with very little effort:)

    Enjoy your Sunday everyone
