  • Hi

    Don't worry the Dragon hasn't been around for a few days to update (last updated the front page list on 8th April and I can see you joined after that). Don't worry she will go through the posts with a fine tooth comb and add you very soon.

    Welcome to our challenge by the way:beer:
    Thanks. Can we include student loans on this list???

    Hope so!! £12K of my target is student loan. It's a personal challenge so you just choose what you want to pay off within the time and away you go. Dragon will just update what you tell her to. She's good like that. :D In fact she's fab. :T
    Welcome to the challenge.

    In that case please change my debt to: £19,386.17. :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
