  • Well, I am No.39 and think I might get started now as well otherwise I am going to spend lots of money on nothing in particular - it's X'mas will be my excuse. At least this way, my money will be well spent - my debts..

    I am going to update my signature (gulp!!) - I am so disappointed as I was due to go below £10,000 by the end of this year and then I fell ill etc etc. Now I am over £11,000 and it sucks.:mad:

    Anyway this will hopefully keep me on the straight and narrow.

    Off to update my sig..

  • Oooooh lots of newbies to this thread :j welcome along.

    Congratulations on your first post lookingtothefuture, have you tried looking at the 'up your income' section on the main site? Its got lots of good advice. The make £10 per day thread is also good to take a nosey at too. I would put links but im not sure how to.... perhaps someone a bit more advanced in this computer-tinterweb-thingy-me-bob will come along and post them?

    Hi

    Can i join in too please???? I currently have under 30K in debt but want this gone asap. I got engaged at the beginning of the month and know there is no possibility of a wedding until the debt is gone so the sooner the better

    10k would be a great target to achieve

    What a fab idea! I'm looking at saving 5k during 2010-to work towards a project that will help pay off the mortgage and student debt-can I still join?!

    GOOD LUCK everyone!!!

  • Count me in too please! Although I only have about £100 on a credit card at the moment (spent nearly all year paying credit card off after husband got made redundant) I would really like to have £10k in savings by this time next year, so hope this challenge will help me achieve that.

  • Can you count me in too please? thanks

    I need to buy a newer car as mine is dying and pay off some debts so anything near £10,000 woud be amazing.
