    Thanks for starting the 2009 challenge. Having just completed the 2008 one I am definitely up for this....one last time.

    Put me down for £9229.09 please. That's the last of my debt.

    Good luck everyone - I promise to post more often this year.

  • Hiya!

    Mine's more of a save £20,000 one... Fingers crossed I'll do it so please do put me on this list! :j
    :beer: Debt Free since July 2011 and it feels good! :beer:

    Now it's all about finding a deposit for a house!

    How do you amass £70k in a year?! :eek:
  • re the answer to selling stuff I plan to use work of mouth! I'll try to hone my skills and theres a certain amount of expense needed to get equipment, beads etc but fingers crossed. May also look at doing craft fayre etc at some stage but thats a way off yet and may also look as seeing whether I can sell via a local outlet but thats a way off and means a certain amount of planning!

  • Put 3 quid into a savings account for my CC bill, will be doing a payment a day so update at the end of the month.

    have had mixed feelings about this challenge but did even more sums this afternoon and figure what the hell I will absolutely give it my best shot.

    will also be doing the 4000 pounds a year challenge and make as much money as I can through e bay and avon. think I may have said all this before off to watch spooks now, that takes some concentrating on!

  • Ok, I'm up for a challenge!

    Around £10k of debt, it would be nice to be without it (or at least without a lot of it) this time next year, so sign me up for clearing that!

    OK, everyone is added! We have 102 challengers now, with a total target of over £1.6million :j

    Good to see those early figures coming in.....keep posting to chivvy everyone along!

    I have everyone entered on the spreadsheet, so if you want to pm me your totals at the end of every month, I will endeavour to keep it updated. Please don't pm me more often than that otherwise I will never keep it going, and that just will not do!

    A fab start :T
