    Hi - May I throw my hat into the ring? I have decided that 2012 is the year that I have got to get to grips with my escalating debts. My debt for this challenge is to Tesco for £3176.69.

    44 day challenge


    1. Pay £650 off overdraft (£ 288/ £650)
    2. Lose 12 lbs (4.5/ 12)
    3. Use YNAB everyday (6/44)
  • This looks great - am I too late to join in? I've just looked at that sneaky tool that showed me how much money I'm wasting on non-essentials and I've been inspired to stop wasting and start reducing debt. My commitment for 2012 is:

    1. Dad £200
    2. Overdraft £500
    3. Credit Card £6393 - can't clear it next year but want to get below £4000 by end of 2012
    # 38 Pay one debt 2012 Dec 2011, Dad - £200/£200 :T but with a tear in my eye, as Dad sadly passed away in March :(

    I emptied my sealed jar and there was £40 in it. Then I claimed my £8 from quidco - so its a start and I am off. I think that having a definite goal in mind will keep me focussed. Next stop - ebay!:j
