    Good to see you oreo, gardis, Pete, NoDebtDiva, Purpleroses, Little Vics and learn2cope (*phew*!)

    This is all going to kick off on the first of January so those that want to add their amounts have got a little bit of time :D, learn2cope - just put down what debt you want to see gone (could be a credit card for instance) and work on busting that - you may surprise yourself and clear the lot though! :A


    Gonna give myself the target of £10,000 :eek:

    Hi All,

    Can I join too please, my total is 5738.

  • Ok, so £204.42 paid off today as an extra payment for my Natwest loan. There will be another payment tomorrow too. Signature updated. :D

    I hope it's ok but because my loan puts interest on monthly, and I'll need to do a CC transfer later this year, the total amount I need to pay back will be a bit more than what I've listed. So I may ask you to change that on the first post please?

    Thank you!

    17 of us and counting! Some wanting to pay off smaller and some larger amounts but the thing is we ALL want to get shot of some or all of out debts!

    Mine is small in comparison BUT I don't have a lot of cash coming in so it could be classed as a large amount percentage wise! I am just looking forward to the day whern I don't need to make that CC payment!

    Good to see you natsing, there is going to be a heck of a lot less debt in 30 months which is very reassuring!

    Yay runmichellerun - first payment off the amount which means you have cleared 3.11% of your target and 0.11% of the total :beer::beer:
