Count me in too please! Have been lurking for such a long time and this is my first post. Me and my fiance have just agreed that we want to get rid of as much debt as possible before we get married in 2010 and this challenge looks like it may provide the right motivation. Thanks!
We'll have a good go at £20,000!0 -
Yay, first lot of pymts come off tmrw and are showing online now so have amended my signature accordingly, £786.59 which sounds a lot but includes paying off hs overdraft with our savings cos he's cloing the account tmrw so we're starting afresh. So, only £9213.41 to go! Good luck everyone!Total Debt (27th Nov 08) £16,707.03 Now £5,102.72Debt Free Date [strike]Nov 2012[/strike] August 20110

ISOM, what good ideas! I've been looking at hand-knitted dolls' clothes on ebay, wondering if I should try - if I'm sitting in front of the tv sometimes, I want to be doing something, but away from the computer. Where are you going to sell your stuff? Can you let us know where? Or pm me if you want to keep it quiet? I'd love to see.2023: the year I get to buy a car0
