    Hi Dragon,

    Number 140 here, but not good news I'm afraid....

    I've had serious issues with my car, and unfortunately have had no choice but to replace it. The plan was to NOT do this until I'd got debt free next year and had saved up for a new car, but the best laid plans of mice-and -men and all that :o

    So...... I have had to add £3084.85 to my debts. Utterly gutted :(

    Could you please amend my totals accordingly. I'm still up for clearing it all by June, so hopefully can still manage to complete the challenge, and the good news is I've wangled it so it will be on my 0% balance transfer card (just the transfer fee to find) ;)

    Thanks Dragon,

    A very despondent TooMany xx

    Hi

    I'd like to join in with the challenge please if someone could give me a number :o

    I'm aiming to clear £12k in 12 months .... which would hopefully have me debt free by the end of April 2012, but I would definitely like to be debt free by July 2012!

    So my target is £12,000 and I have paid off £454.06 (3.78%)
