Pay One Debt 2012!

Hi All
I have decided to start this thread for people, like myself, who have HUGE DEBTS!
Having looked through various challenges I find that the majority of them are not within my reach financially.
I am on a DMP with CCCS so spare cash is extremely rare!
I have decided that I am going to concentrate on paying off my lowest debt and then when it is settled move on to the next lowest.
I have not set a time limit on this as I feel that everybody is different and everybody's debts differ.
I am happy for anybody to join me in my challenge.
My first debt is a low one! Owe Natwest Bank £35.00.
If you want to join, just let me know and I will allocate you a number on post 2. Just tell me who you owe and how much you owe and I will add you to my LITTLE challenge!!:j

Arrow Global, Link Financial, Candid Collections, Fashion World, JDWilliams, Aktiv Kapital, Moorcroft, Phoenix Recoveries, WFS(who are now bankrupt) Halifax = £21722
I owe £21,722 among 12 creditors. The main one being a Halifax credit card debt of £10463, if I get some of the smaller ones paid off then I can throw more money at that one otherwise I will still be paying if off when I am 90 ! The smallest one is £113.000 -
