Hello everyone, thought I'd join in as I have decided not to be so cynical of these challenges since joining the pad thread and seeing how much I've done!
As you can see from my sig I have a credit card and an overdraft that I am planning on clearing (touch wood) by the end of this year.
I have got a personal loan as well as the figures in my sig of which there is £3,323 left to pay. The official finish date of this loan is January 2011, but I don't really want it to drag on that long so I will use this thread to help motivate me towards getting it paid off!
I only have 3 months till my 25th birthday so thats not looking likely :rotfl: but I think by my 26th birthday is managable so I'll put that down.
So...
Silaqui is aiming to clear £6278 by July 28th 2010 which will be my 26th birthday.
That means I have to pay off an average of £418 per month, or about £100 per week... hmmm better try extra hard in my interview lol!
xxThs signature is out of date because I'm too lazy to update it...

Ok, I'm in if you'll have me!
My want to be clear by date is November 2011
My totl I want to clear is in the region of £20,000 :eek:, but I will confirm exact ammounts shortly - it is very scary adding them all up and dmitting that to others, but I do need to face it head on.
