    I like the percentage idea :)

    We could all pick a precentage that suits us and then aim to pay that by Dec 2011 - so someone could pick 25% or 30% or whatever suits if you see what I mean.

    That then takes into account people's different salaries and debts.

    I think I would be looking to aim for around 50% :D

    I have just changed my budget to only allow £55 per week for the Tesco shop for next month, back to traipsing round the store as I can't afford the delivery charge now!

    This will be a struggle but does means on Friday I will owe £11,500 exactly :)
