Who is aiming to be debt free this year?

I seriously need motivating. Been reading a couple of people's debt free posts, and I was wondering who is aiming to be debt free this year? What's your strategy to stay on track?
I estimate I'll be out of debt somewhere between September and Christmas if I can stay on track. I'm trying to ebay, car boot and everything else I can think of to bring that date forward, it can't happen soon enough. The sooner I am out of debt, the sooner I can save up to move in with my bloke.

Mine's Feb 2007 - not so far off. It's 0% so little point getting rid any earlier, otherwise I'd use my meagre savings.:cool: DFW Nerd Club member 023...DFD 9.2.2007 :cool::heartpuls married 21 6 08 :A Angel babies' birth dates 3.10.08 * 4.3.11 * 11.11.11 * 17.3.12 * 2.7.12 :heart2: My live baby's birth date 22 7 09 :heart2: I'm due another baby at the end of July 2014! :j

I'd like to be credit card debt free by the end of this year - I'm paying off £200/month on £2000ish so it might be January next year.
Then on to the overdraft - but because I'm a student it's interest free at least.0 -
The best of luck to all of you - you can do it & soon you will be debt free!!! It will be the best thing you have ever done (in a strange kind of way!!)..0

Im looking at 8 months so hopefully will be debt free by Christmas - this date will come sooner if I hit targets at work and earn extra bonus.
