    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!

    xx
    Ths signature is out of date because I'm too lazy to update it... :o

    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.

    Hi F_F! CAn I sign up for debt free by 1st April 2011 (day before my 30th!):eek::eek:

    That means have 103 weeks. £223 per month would clear my total. That's a little more than I'm paying at the moment so I'd better get my skates on!
