Muppets - I was a silly goose last year and decided to say f**k it to the debt and went and got married instead!
I managed to consolidate everything to a 3 year loan but if I can make overpayments I'll be happy.

Happy boxing day everyone.
I hope you all had a good Christmas day. Unfortunately in the run up to Christmas I had to spend a couple of days in hospital and have some minor surgery. I am home now, and the silver lining to that particular cloud is that I realised how much I want to train and work in theatres as an ODP, so I have applied to my local college to an access course, and am more determined than ever to end this year debt free, so could I please increase my total to include my CC and Loan.
My new target is therefore £5713.51. Sorry to mess you around Muppets.
This target is extremely ambitious for me, but I have a new determination to get it sorted.£2 savers club #33

Hi
Can I please keep my number #206
I have debts in the region of £10,000 :mad: :sad: and although I would love to be debt free by next Christmas, and will try so hard, I think this is incredibly optimistic! Never say never though!
Good luck everyone 👍 I look forward to posting and being inspired by everyone’s journeys.
