    Just did a quick add up and do you know, if we all manage to pay off what we've pledged we will have knocked nearly £1 million off our collective debt. How stunning is that?

    Pay off as much as you can in 2011: £780/£8000
    Vouchers through surveys/shopandscan: £10/£250
    Ebay/Paypal target for 2011: £109/£1000
  • OK. Have allocated the first £45/£10000 for this challenge. Booked myself a student haircut appointment with Toni & Guy which will cost me £5 instead of £50 at my usual salon. So the £45 will go towards paying 10k extra this year. I won't update my signature until I have made the payments though, which I have to do in increments of £1000.

    The downside of the student haircuts is that I have been sitting there for up to 4 hours in the past... Well luckily I got lot's of overtime so some of it will be used for this.
    Debt: Absolutely Mega (six figures) :shocked:
