    I joined the 09 20K by xmas and got wayward and never hit my target, so I have sat down, worked out how much I owe and now with reading this thread have set myself a goal of 20K by xmas, and debt free by Mar 11. So I would like to join this thread and be part of a debt-busting team.

    Keep up the good work everyone, going through the thread everyone has a really good and positive attitude, so keep it up :beer:

    Thanks for the motivation everybody :j
    Debt Jun 07 = 44359.04 / Debt as at 22 Jun 10 = 22251.23
    20K Challenge - 5134.13 (25.67%) / 20000 so 14865.87 to go :j
    Debt free date planned for - Mar 11
