    Hi,

    Can I join too? I have £8,448.46 to pay as at 1 Jan 2010 and my estimated DFD is March 2012 (if I let my loan run it's course), hoping it'll be sooner but taking it slow right now.

    Can I join too please?? My DFD is Sept 2012 so a couple of months to shave off is nothing really :rolleyes:

    My total to pay off is 31,480.49 :eek:

    Me too please.
    Total debts with cards, loans and overdrafts are £29,538.91, all being well with work i want to reduce it by hopefully £12,000 this year, maybe I will get somewhere under £10,000 by then if i don't clear it!

    Can I join this challenge please if there's still time? I've signed up to a few little monthly ones but i was looking for a realistic long-term target and this is perfect!!
    Our Debt Free Date is currently November 2012 but I'm going all out to shave a few months off that!!
    Total to pay off is £15,341.23 (yuck, still hate seeing in in writing!). Good luck everyone - will update monthly! xx

    I've got you katenut :D, and people can join at any time - just means they may be sprinting rather than doing the marathon!
