  • #46 reporting with a £10 payment,

    thank you Muppets
  • Morning!

    OK so I'm usually terrible at posting, but read bits on here most days. Today has to be an exception though :)

    #60 YummyMummy20 £3850/3850

    and officially debt free for the first time since my 18th birthday (11 years ago :o)

    I will probably still lurk on this thread though, I love reading about other people's triumphs :T

    Congrats GalRob and YummyMummy20!!
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭
  • Hello, I'm a bit late to the party but can I join please? I won't have time to pay off all my debt by Christmas but I would like to just start on my credit card. The 0% runs out in December and rather than looking for a new deal I would rather just clear it. It's only a bite size of our overall debt, but it's better than nothing!

    £0/ £2350
    Taking on the world one debt at a time!!!

    Buy my car outright £0/£3300
    Buy a caravan £0/£7500
    Replace house windows £0/£5000
  • Morning All!
    Just reporting another £50 payment to my one and only remaining debt!

    #66 £2339/2889

    Only £550 left which I am totally giddy about! I'm due a bonus in October which I can't wait to throw at this figure!

    I hope everyone is still enjoying this challenge.

    Thank you Muppets!
