    I agree I will be on holiday on the 15th August so I will put down £1000 to pay off the cc and overdrafts as my target for the new challenge. Thanks

    15th August sounds like a great start date. I will also be on holiday but would like to start the next challenge. Mine will be to pay off my Virgin CC (which currently stands at £1790.

  • Hi everyone,

    Thanks for agreeing to start a new challenge Amara, I know that it takes time to do the updates and generally keep an eye on things :T

    15th August sounds fabulous, I'm going to go for £991 this time to get my credit card debt under the £3K mark. My current 0% deal ends on this card next year so I really want to get it paid off now rather than moving things around yet again.

    Looking forward to the next round :j

  • Hi Amara, thank you for preparing to do another challange for us.:D
    I would like to save £2000 to pay for flights for me and OH to go to Australia in March. I know this isn't really MSE friendly, as my other debts will be delayed getting paid off because of it, but I am going to stay with my Dad who lives there. I don't get to see him to often and he had a heart attack last christmas although he's better now. He's not going to be here forever, and if I can save up for the cost of the flights, at least I'm not getting into more debt to pay for it.
    Organising the time of work was hard!:p

    Well done to all of those who met their targets, I've finally managed to clear mine too :). After many years of struggling I have no debt anymore, so I think I'll have to find a savings challenge!
