    I agree with Jen. Carry on with this one, and then rename it in January.

    ** fingers crossed i will be debt free by November **

    dont think we can rename it we will have to start a new one, I reckon it should be the 'new year new start ' thread . No challenge in particular or names of challengees just us regulars and anyone else who wants to pop in. Will write the story so far in the first post and go from there, everyone can then post with challenges they can set themselves for the year- paying off debts in a certain amount of time or saving a particular amount of money.

    I'm happy with whatever it gets called, I might even be debt free by the end of next year if I'm being optimistic!

    Jen is going to get another star soon too ;)

    I ordered another £10 boots voucher today, this time from IPSOS. If I don't get enough vouchers before they are due to expire I might just auction them to clear some of the debt, argos vouchers seem to sell well. I've made another couple of sales today and have £10 in ebay bids at the moment so should have about £60 in my paypal soon, though I'll probably just take out £50 when I get paid for an auction that ended tonight.
    Finally bought a home
    Starting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £192,586.98/CENTER]
    Overpayments since 27.03.19: £52,407.47

    I lied, it was an argos voucher, not a boots one. I'm clearly losing it.

    Speaking of vouchers, has anyone seen the new pigsback rewards thing? I'm not sure if they've got rid of loads or whether its half finished.
