I am a long term lurker on many of the 'Challenge' threads, and have fully admired those who take part in them and achieve so much.

Now I think it is time I took part in one so I am going to set this one up. If you would like to join me you are most welcome!

I am aiming to pay off £14,000 next year so that is going to be my target.

If you want to join in and set yourself a target be it £200 or £200,000 let me know and I'll add you to the list.

If you want me to update your total, post it in either of the two formats:

£548 paid off so far
or
£548/£5000 paid.

I don't mind what colours by the way :rotfl:, but if you were able to make it bigger or in colour then that would be great. (Click on 'go advanced' for those who are not sure how to do it). If it's like that I can clearly see it is a total and will add it to the first page.


Happy debtbusting everyone!:beer:

So far we have paid off a total of:
January - £85,134.13
February - £64,015.44
March - £57,899.02
April - £69,316.73
