Can you put me down too. I'm going to get rid of all my debt by next Christmas, no more credit card, no more overdrafts. Although I am aiming to get it done sooner than next Christmas if possible, I would like to also have a sizeable amount in savings.... something like the £4k in debt I am. Do I think it's doable... not sure yet but I would like to join your merry gang please.

P.s. £4300 is my figure

Lovely to have you onboard Kerri_dfw! xxx

Oooo Loubie Lou, you're starting on a lower figure based on what you're hoping to pay by end of year - should I do same? I've put my current debt figure down but it should be a bit less by end 2011...what does everyone think?

It's entirely up to you CW2! I'm starting the challenge now so I'm putting down the debt I owe as of today so I can feel like I'm getting somewhere and not having to wait until January to see my totals come down. xxx

CW2, it's up to you really my dear, but I think I am going to end up paying about 1k before the year is out. £13k sounds a nice figure to start the new year off with......x

Haha what are we like?! I'm so indecisive. So in an attempt to be decisive, I'll stick with £12,459 - it will be gone!!! And then I am having one hell of a night out Bring on 2012!

I'd love to join you!!! i am on a few threads on here and I think this one will keep me on track and push me towards a fast dfd!! :beer:
i want to be out of debt by october so that I can go to the maldives to do a volunteer project out there. Love what ur doing guys, I have a debt of 5,000 and I earn about 8k a year, hopefully on the rise as I am mainly self employed and establishing my business atm.
