I hope I'm not too late to join but I would love to sign up to this challange. Used to be a MSE addict and I've kind of fell away from it in the last wee while and I would really really really like to work towards paying off my debt
Here goes...............please sign me up for £7500 debtOn my way to well earned riches (I hope!) :T:T:T0 -
Hooray, I can finally update my debt repyments cause the interest (boo!) has been added onto my overdraft -
£364/£7180 :beer:
Soooo pleased, even though at first I mis-calculated and counted my loan repyament twice! Will be getting cracking in the new year - selling everything I can, cutting back and keeping the OH in line!
Well done to everyone who has made payments :T off to update my sig now

I've tried to read the whole thread and I'm currently on page 60-odd. I will finish reading all the way through but wanted to mark my place.
I'd like to join the challenge. I think our debts are £12,000 so that's a nice round total to try and pay off in 12 months.
We currently pay around £500 a month in debts and want to increase this to £1,000 a month which I think we can do.
So can I join please?0 -
Evening everyone! Am loving the bucks! I'm always playing on the internet while watching TV, but reckon just by adding bucks in the wasted time I can earn £5 amazon each two weeks. Teeny bit of extra work and I will be able to get half of my family birthday presents via bucks!
Also, now just 10p away from a payout on onepoll, so obsessively checking for new surveys.
Totally agree how this thread has helped already - any extra cash would otherwise have gone on unnecessary rubbish for Christmas, but instead I've paid off 9.5% of my debt!:A If saving money is wrong, I don't want to be right. William Shatner

Important Notice
To help me run this thread easily, could you please all post your totals in large text and in a bold colour, i.e.:
£265.43/£7685.67
(where the first amount is the total you have paid off so far in this challenge and the second amount is the total you pledged to clear by Xmas 2012.
It would also be a big help if you could also put with it your number from the 2nd post.
i.e. another £50 paid off so now the total for
#001 is £315.43/£7685.67
