Hi, please add me again for this year Hypno. Will aim for 20K again - nearly got there this time round.
MFW (as of 08/11/11) £7645.90Aiming to be mortgage free by Dec 2012 :jSealed Pot Challenge #1628 - £16.000 -
hi hypno thanks for the new challenge. I have decided to try to pay off all our credit card debt and also at least one of our loans. All of our current debt is to try to get a holiday cottage up and running and I still have loads to do. I really want to finish it without any more debt so the total is about £1600 to try to pay off.
Smile loan £11000
DH's Virgin cc £947
My Virgin cc 2195
Tesco CC £3396
Smile cc 2789
Total is £20327 £4000 more than I thought so I will set my target at £20000 for this challenge. DH still has no work so I may be being very optimistic. I like a challenge!!business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

Hi Hypno06
I would love to join this challenge. I'm a long term lurker and think it's about time to stop lurking and start doing. I read last years thread with interest and am up for this one (I hope)
I would like to aim for the full £20000 :eek:
Many thanks.

The 1st of the month sees a big payment go out for me, so £458 off the capital debt gives me a nice start to the challenge
