    Thanks for all the updates folks. Current totals:

    GROUP TARGET FOR 2009: £623886.52
    PAID OFF SO FAR: £43316.86

    We've paid off about 7% of the debt and are just about at the end of month 2. Good progress being made and every pound is one less owed to the sharks!

    Keep going everyone.
