    Hey Jwil. :wave:

    Count me in for this year.

    My target this year is to reduce my debt by £500 per month. So my target is £6000 for 2012.

    This is going to be a big challenge for me, but I'm going to give it a go!

    Thanks for doing this again this year, Jwil. :beer:

    Good to see you peaceandfreedom, good luck!

    Me too please Jwil! I LOVED last/this years thread and can't wait to get cracking again once the new year rolls in :)

    Total for me this year is going to be £10,000. With my maternity leave starting in a couple of weeks and OH going full time self employed at the end of January I'm not sure how realistic this is, but I'll give it a go!
    Parents - £4000/£0 paid
    OH parents - £9000/£0 paid

    Mortgage - £125,000/£0 overpayments

    Good to have you on board Deeperblue - you must not have long to go if you are starting on maternity leave soon. To pay £10k off next year will be a fantastic achievement!
