  • Could you put me down for £10,000 by the start of the olympics. Our overall debts are higher but this would make a very serious dent in them and seeing the target go down is going to be a great motivator!

    Thanx.

    Oh and need to update sig...got to try and remember how hmmm.

    Good to see you aytch and lisalongsox, you are added to the first post (along with your amounts to clear - so if you want your Olympic number it is one there as well :D).

    Pollydaydream - I have added your amount paid (you have cleared 1.03% and we are not even in 2010 yet :p) and I have updated the overall totals

    To pay - £736,369.59
    Paid - £1,112.73
    Percentage paid 0.15%

    Slowly but surely we are getting there!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    Thank you NoDebtDiva - another one off the starting blocks with a 4.19% paid figure!

    Overall totals £1,655.82 paid which equates to 0.22% of the total to pay :beer:

    Here's hoping everyone has a fantastic New Year's Eve and is fired up for debt busting tomorrow and onwards!
