    Hi All

    Please can I join this years challenge with a target of £3762.44

    This is made up of:
    £903.92 - Bank Loan (4 more payments - :j )
    £2708.52 - Credit Card
    £150 - Overdraft

    If I manage to pay it all off, I will be debt free for the first time since I was about 19/20, I am no 27!

    I also want to have lots in savings in 2012 for things I want to save for.

    Good luck everyone!

    Welcome back cakelover, how brill to be debt free in 2012, good luck! :)

    Good morning all!

    I joined last year and although I continued my payments... I kind of lapsed on the posts! :o

    Pleeeeeeeeease can I have a second chance for 2012...I promise to be an excellent poster and let you know every penny I pay! :D

    I aim to pay £1900 by the end of the year - no more credit card spending!! :A

    I'm going to start in January. Good luck everybody!!!! :T :beer::T:beer:

    We'll forgive you michmcc :naughty::D. Good luck with the debtbusting :)

    Oh, and by the way, if you know what you've paid off this year, feel free to come back to the 2011 thread and give us a total - it will bump the group total up, you'll be most welcome :D
