    Hi Everyone,

    I've seen this challenge on some people's signatures and thought it sounded interesting.

    I'm part of the Mortgage Free in Three and think this would a great challenge to run alongside for my debt.

    So can I join please. My starting amount is £17455 and that is what I aim to pay off by July 2012.

    Sorry to be a pain and join late Dragon. :o
  • £245.02 today
  • Can I join as well, please? Sorry about the tardiness!

    All our debt isn't possible by 2012... but all but one is!

    8808.66 GBP + 22,247.73 USD

    Grand total: 22,713.49 GBP (ish)
    Paid so far: 1,455.63
    (starting from 1 Jan)

    We'll see how this goes! :)

    Just transferred my balance to a new card, with a much much lower apr for life of transfer - this will help hugely.
    DEBT FREE since 2011
    Retiring to Spain has changed my world

    Good to see you off the starting blocks purple_angel and so close to 1% paid as well!

    Just under half the marathon runners have made some form of payment so this is looking good :D People can join in the challenge up until the start of June 2012 so plenty of time for others to join us ;)

    Oh and because of the way I am running the spreadsheet you can let me know all payments and then also let me know interest and I will deduct that from your payments so you don't have to :p:o

    Good to see you purple115sister - and yes if you let me know payments made (and any interest added), I will keep a running total and work out percentages :D
