    Oh dear, feeling very guilty now :(

    I just worked out I had earned £20 commision from this months Avon orders and I am also doing the sealed pot challenge so I popped it into my pot and was really pleased but now feel bad as I could have paid some off of my debt.:( That would have been a much more sensible idea :mad:

    It finishes in December 2009, but yes you are quite right instead of paying off £20 now I might be able to pay off several hundred next December and give my debt a good kick up the a**e and hopefully be free of it. :j

    So it wasnt such a bad idea, feel MUCH happier now Thanks The Dragon:T

    Hi,

    Can I join too. I don't think I will manage to clear it all by Dec 2009 but have signed up for 15k on the 20k Xmas challenge.

    However, put me down for the lot. It is £21,206. I might as well aim for the moon and see where I land. it is challenges like this that keep me going anyway.
