    Thanks for replying.

    Our DMP ends in March 2012, so we should be debt free then, but the cautious side of me says to set my date for June 2012. We still have £51k to pay back.

    Hi again Elsie!

    You're on the list of challenge members now, so welcome to the birthday club :bdaycake:
  • Hi there dfb peeps!
    My goodness flying_fresian you've gathered quite a herd there already. I'm checking the old money in and outs to see where I can save a few pennies towards this great debt free birthday bonanza and I've spied an old money box looking all lonely and sad- rattle rattle! gadzukes there is £2.96 in 1p and 2p's or not 2p's that is the question!
    Bet you can't guess where that's going mmmm let me see
    messrs Hallicrass and evilonus can share it
    May you fill up the great clutterbucket of life and may all of your leaks be in cheese sauce:D
    Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without:cool:

    Hey all

    I have changed the title of the challenge as I think it sounds better to have the Debt Free Birthday Club Challenge!

    Also, purpleclutterbuck called us DFBs which I really like!!

    If you don't like the title, PM me or comment below, I shant take offence :D I tricked t'other half into doing the dishes so had better go and tidy the living room thus completing my half of the bargain!
  • Ooooh, we've got a new name :) Love it

    I think the new club name is great.

    Proud to be a DFB club member as well as a PaD-der :T
    One step at a time ;)

    I really like the new title,

    I can pretend I am young like all of you.:cool:

    You would think that at my age I would have more sense than to get into debt, but when you have had a family, and university fees to pay etc, it just was one of those things.

    Anyway, onwards and upwards......I'm dreaming of my cruise, - sunshine - warm waters - wine - warm waiters. !!! :rolleyes:

    Hi nickynoo08

    Thanks for joining our merry little group!

    Can you please let me know what date you're aiming to be debt-free by as that way I won't have to count forward 69 weeks :rotfl:

    Cheers!

    PS...is anyone else watching Lost on Sky One and if so do ANY of you have a flipping clue what is going on? I think I'm about ready to quit Lost, and I've been a loyal viewer since it started :mad:
