    Count me in. I'm going to be debt free next year even if it kills me.

    I really need to work out my exact figure again but it has been pretty constant for a while - around 10k. I will post up my figure at a later date.

    Good luck everyone.

    Yes please can I join.

    Our current debt is £24077 :eek: and fingers crossed we should be DF by October 2009 however any sooner would be lovely!

    At present I'm focused and motivated however I do appreciate as the finishing line nears that it will be get harder. I know it shouldn't but there will be the temptation to slip into old habits and spend here and there. If its not in the budget it doesn't get spent.

    So I'm definatley up for this to help keep me motivated when the motivation dips.

    Good luck to us all :T

    Hi Mizmir et al...

    I'd love to join this thread please, after a turbulent (and expensive!) couple of months, I am back to relative normality!
    I have £5969.79 that I want to have cleared asap, but Christmas 2009 would be fine with me! Esp as my DFD is 31 months away!!!
