    I would like to join too. I keep thinking I have so much debt, but if you guys can do it, so can I. Please put me down for £5,110. I need the motivation and support from you guys to help me get there. Go us! HappyDaddy we have both joined today and have roughly the same debt, lets do this! :)
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    I have today made my final payment towards my tax credits debt...:j:j:j:j:j:j

    The only debt I have now is my student loan and my mortgage. We are concentrating on the mortgage now so it seems unlikely I will meet this challenge. I had originally included the student loan in this challenge as my intention was to pay it off first. But hey ho! At least the mortgage is coming down fast now. I've paid £6000 off since November last year in addition to my debt busting on this challenge.

    So my paid to date for this challenge is now £7736.75 which is about 43.7%

    Well done everyone on all the payments.

    Yay congratulations on another debt biting the dust - and you never know what else you can clear in a year!
