    I like the new sig Happy! :)

    Is that 23% of your wages every month or a 23% total reduction that you're going for?

    That's not little at all!

    That's why percentage is good rather than figures x

    Wow, I know percentages are better but I should still check what they mean in figures first! :rotfl:

    Gonna change to a 65% total reduction - that means I still have to find another £13,317 by Dec 2011 and that's without including interest! :eek:

    So... 18%/65% :)

  • I think December is the wrong month to be aiming for a 100% debt reduction but never mind!

    Oh and mines is...48%/100% :)

    :rotfl::rotfl:I know!

    The problem is I like to aim high - if the target is too easy I feel like I can slack, but at the same time I've really got to start learning some realism (24K in a year springs to mind :o)
