    Hi guys! I will update new challenge numbers in a little while - need a soak in the bath first, because I ran a half marathon today and am still in my smelly, cold, sweaty running gear.......!

    Back when I smell a little fresher :o

  • This is a fab challenge - I joined last year and I'm sorry to say I fell by the wayside and let the faffing take over! I won't join this time but I am pleased to say that my debts are going firmly in the right direction and I'm looking forward to being debt free in 2009!

    Good luck everyone - I'll keep popping in to see your progress.

    Hi Hypno - don't mean to be a pain - you do so well manageing the thread -but my name is not on your list! This challenge has inspired me so much - with everyone's support I'm sure we can all do it!
    I am giving myself a bit of a personal challenge through this - I turn 40 at the end of June 2009 - I would like to have paid my 2 credit cards by then. I'm just off to work out how much that will be a month!

    Good luck everyone

    judi, to save me going back through all the posts, can you tell me how much you want to pay off, and I will add it in when I update the list later this evening.

    Sorry for missing you off the list originally :o

  • hypno06 - well done on your half marathon, i feel really lazy now, im still in my pjs!
    This challenge has really got me focused, and im enjoying reading how everyone is doing. It is going to get to be a bit of an obsession i think.

    Well done everyone so far. :T
