yeah - welcome Dragon!

Thanks mizmir! Actually I think I would be happy if I cleared half of it so that I am not paying interest through the nose!

Count me in! I've got about £5000 to clear, which I hope to do by Summer 2009. Once I've cleared the debt I will start saving to move to Australia for a year. Happy Chick, it sounds like we have exactly the same plan! When do you plan to go?

I can already see the light at the end of the tunnel. My cc balance is going over to 0% soon, and my overdraft is decreasing steadily. I start a new job in January, the + is more money, pension scheme, slightly nearer to home. The - is that I'll be going from being paid weekly to being paid monthly. So January will be tough!

Aim for all and who knows where you'll end up!

Welcome slig! Move to Oz sounds like a wonderful incentive!

Oh can I join?

I currently have £1389.85 on my Cap 1 Credit card, and I want it gone ASAP - but my target will be when DS2 starts Preschool in September.

I know its not as much as some of you, but I am a SAHM and not having to pay £70 a month will mean much more fun for my three little monsters.

Good luck everyone, I find these support great, and so motivational!

of course you can frasersmum - welcome! Good luck with your target date!

Hi Mizmir, great thread!

I have £4964.72 to clear and would love to do this by my best friends wedding in June. Feels sooo good to finally be under £5K!

My total is £8892.29.

I have had to guesstimate one debt as can't find any paperwork :mad: have emailed them for a balance though.

Sounds as though there will be an awful less paid in interest in 2009 - oh what a shame :rotfl::p:rotfl:
