    Sorry just had to post again, as I'm another step closer to being Debt free. My 0% credit card should be down to £905, now after last months payments, so am getting very close, especially as I got my letter this morning relating to a profit related bonuses, it looks like I'll be getting about £400 after Tax at the end of April, so all of that will be going on the 0% card, plus I've changed my Bank account to 1st Direct so will hopefully be getting their £100 incentive at the end of May. So that will be more than half the card paid off, plus normal payments in April and May, so hopefully it will all be paid off by June.

    Hi!

    Just to update, i managed thanks (to a hefty unexpected sum from holiday pay, and few other unexpected windfalls) to well reach my target! :j


    Throughout the challenge ive managed to really hammer my debt..and have really enjoyed it! So much that ive now fiddled with my spreadsheet.. set myself a new target and am going to use it to motivate me to generate that "extra" cash each week!;) :)

    In the past 5 months ive managed to clear £635 off my personal debt! Most of which has been done during this challenge as it really boosted my motivation so im very thankful i joined.. :D:D:D

    Hope everyone else met their targets too....!!!

    One very easy phone call to Northern Rock (they didn't even try and sell me anything :eek: ) and my loan of £3k is now paid off 15 months early :j :j . I am so impressed with myself for managing it!

    Just to add that all debt (except Mortgage) is now gone, this challenge helped give me the kick i needed to pay it off.
