    Excellent! I am pretty sure everyone got their targets?! Well done every one - it’s been a weird month, and I must say, I thought it would be harder than it was in the end! 

    @holly_hobby - you were right. I very firmly challenged their justification for me not being included in the annual bonus, and I did get it! And it was more than I thought in the first place, so I am really happy  :)

    Happy New Year everyone!
    November 2023

    I'm always in it, it's only the depth that varies....

    Current debt: £10,806.75
    Debt free date April 2025 (though expecting this to come forward)


  • Happy New year to you too @CMD79. Thanks for running the challenge.  The month turned out much better than I thought. So onward to 2023.

    You're are prime example of small and consistent effort, paying off! I'm definitely doing better overall by following your approach

    Aww, what a lovely thing to say.   You'll be debt free a lot sooner than me though I think, our original debt was rather silly.... :s
