  • Hi all can I join in please?

    I started avidly with the 10k in '10 challenge, and I've still yet to post my totals, but I fell a bit by the way side when work went suddenly hectic and major house problems hammered my good work. It was great reading everyones updates, really inspiring, :T and ment that although I didn't do as well as I hoped I still kept quietly on with it.

    This year Im aiming for 11K which should pay off almost all my CC debt, my OH has now moved in with me and pays towards the bills and he's also a new convert to MSE'ness, which all makes it a bit easier! ;)

  • Hi there, please can i join in this is my first year and this sounds really enspiring.

    Just a question, if you are in your overdraft and your wage goes in to clear it off does this count? This happens each month though so thinking about it its probably doesnt count?

    Thanks
  • Am I too late to join? If possible, I'd like to set my target as £8500 as this is the total of my debts. It would be fabulous to get to next Christmas without that hanging over my head!

    PS. Please can someone tell me how to add a signature. It's great to read other people's as it's very inspirational to see how far they've come. I think it would keep me motivated if I was posting my progress on here.

    Thanks so so much :)
    Barclaycard £3000

    This happens to me every month!:o I am counting payments towards my cc debt and paying back an old accounts overdraft. You can count what you wish though.
