    well I thought honesty was the best policy :rotfl:! I'm definitely on the straight and narrow for the rest of the month and have already ear marked my council tax for Feb and March towards the debt. I just hope nothing else breaks (I've had to replace the most ridiculous amount of appliances this past year!)

    Thanks for the welcome!

    My payday is always the last week of the month so unless I earn elsewhere I'll be updating my first new total and adding a sig in about four weeks.

    Can't wait

    Can we join please?

    I don't think we'll be debt free, but I'd like to say we will aim for £2500 by 2012.

    Good to see you gemma1984 and welcome to Olympic debt busting :D

    Jboy - not a problem with only updating once a month - I suspect you will not be the only one!

    Count me in guys.....am making 2010 the year where I start sorting out my finances! Haven't worked out what I owe yet....as will be a bit scary (!) but will do it over the next couple of days and will post it on here.

    I've got two loans that come to an end in 18 months time too, so once they are paid off I can tackle the rest of the debts.....so July 2012 is a good target for me to be debt free! :D
    Proud to be dealing with my debts!! :j
