    I have just read through all 100 odd pages of the 2009 challenge thread and was so inspired by you all. I can really relate to the faffing and having good ideas but I need to take more action!

    Hypno, please could you put me down for £15k.

    Feeling excited about the challenge :j

    Hello all,
    I'm taking our loan by the scruff of the neck next year and tackling head on instead of just paying the monthly amount. Please put me down for £12k.
    Thank you

    Oooh, I'm all excited again. It's quite good to start it before CHristmas, this challenge, because it stops you going overboard and spending loads of money this month that you'll wish you hadn't next month.
  • Right I think I'm about to repeat what I said last year...but say it with feeling this year.
    I would like to aim for £20k please Hypno, that will be 2/3 of my debt gone.
    :)
