  • Hi!!
    I would love to join in with this challenge! My snowball predicted my DFD as feb 2012, but expenses come along and things happen, so I think July 2012 is a great target where I won't be setting myself up to failure.
    I am already visualising myself in July 2012 sitting with my feet up watching the opening ceremony and knowing I don't owe ANYBODY a penny (except the mortgage
    of course)
    Anyway at present my debts total £17114
    this is already down from £22,000

    I look forward to joining you all in this long journey!
    £2 coin challenge = 50/250 (20% there)
    Olympic challenge = 0.7% paid off
  • £383.46 paid off my debts this weekend. Really enjoying watching my total go down. Thanks Dragon :)

    Good to see you mendedmyways and well done on your payments so far :D

    Brilliant to see all the payments being made (however small - they still are payments!)

    I'm glad to see that I am not the only one that has had to add interest payments made :o
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D
