    Hi jwil! I know it's not as much as some people, but could I join and try to clear £2000 of my £6K debt please? I'm just starting getting myself out of debt, so I think this could be a good challenge for me :)

    £2,000 is a great amount to reduce your debt by, so it's not a small challenge by any means! Good luck!
    I'd really like to get credit card cleared as its depressing thinking how many years it will take to pay off at minimum payment - I think I owe around £2,800 shall have to check for exact figure tomorrow but also would like to pay off Next account which is about £200. Thats it for my debt apart from a 105k mortgage but as thats interest only I really should be saving as much as possible to start making inroads into the balance - wonder if anyone here knows the link to the list of all the new 2011 challenges too, saw it on her yest but now cant find it and I think I need all the motivation and ideas I can get! Good Luck everyone!

    I'll pop you down for £3,000 victoria, so let me know if you want to change it.

    Sorry I wasn't around yesterday, developed a lovely migraine at work.

    Welcome to all the joiners, and well done to everyone who's made a payment!

    Off to update the totals now.

    Hi everyone, I'd love to join this challenge if you'll have me! I'm a long term lurker but first time poster and although we've made great inroads with our debt over the past couple of years I feel we've lost our way a bit over the last few months so want to start this year with the proper MSE attitude and I think joining a challenge is the way to go.

    I'd like to pay off our cc's and od's by the end of the year so I'm going for a nice round figure of £12,000

    I'll get to work on my sig so I can keep track of it all. :T

    Happy new year everyone and happy debt busting!!!!
