Head to head proposal

I currently have £3054.91 to clear - does anyone fancy a head to head challenge? If anyone has a similar amount of debt, we can have a race to see who's the first to clear it - good incentive!

    what kinda ground rules would we need? no kicking of the shins of the winner? :rotfl:

    how about we just continue this thread with our battle? maybe change the name to lyns v lewis debt challenge!!!

    my debts as of today, including payments made today and, erm, one or two small purchases :rolleyes: are,

    overdraft one - £750 (maxxed out) on 0% lob
    overdraft two - £300 (as of today :j knocked £50 off) charged interest but :confused: as to how much, works out a couple of pound a month

    bank of scotland cc - £959.38 0% till march 07
    skycard - £1501.74 0% till january 07

    total - £3511.12

    i plan on getting new 0% cards when these terms run out if they ain't payed off first.
