Last £250 paid this morning so I am now officially debt free :money::j:j:beer:
I am so thrilled as I haven't been in this position for at least 16 years whoop whoop.

Thank you to all you lovely people for inspiration and motivation along the way. Xxxxx

Congratulations Whatshername. Very well done on becoming debt free :T

Paid £250 off total today so reduced to 23,777.03. So nice to be under 24,000!
Have decided to set this up as a DD so I'll chip away at it monthly without too much effort. I've listed all our DD's so I know how much we've got to play with each month - feeling very organised.
The next plan is to ditch the credit card after payday at the end of Sept, and from then on only pay for what we can afford. Our dishwasher has packed up and we've decided not to replace it for the time being, DH and I are actually finding washing up by hand quite therapeutic - even the teenagers help out without being asked. Vast improvement from a dishwasher full of dirty/clean crockery that no-one bar me can be arsed to sort out!
I've also decided to try not to buy food at work - it's always rubbish food anyway. Worked out that I spend approx £6 per shift which equates to around £1,200 a year :eek:

Total now stands at £23,777.03 / £24,027.03
