    Hi guys,

    Thanks to a bonus and cutting back on other things I've just paid £1543.98 off, so that's a nice start for me. I am determined to be debt free by next Christmas, this has hung over me for far too long.
    I hope everyone has a lovely day tomorrow with their loved ones.
    Happy Christmas.

    Hi,

    I fell off the wagon this year. And actually due to being in and out of family court with ex got more into debt due to solicitor's fees.

    I am determined to get a grip now and get the debt going down, not up. I shall come later this week to update my aim after I have got my paperwork/spreadsheets/budget in order.

    Hiya, count me in again for 2012. After a successful 2011 on this thread, starting with circa £33K worth of debt, it works for me.

    Going to do it slightly differently this year as the loan repayments are made automatically and then I save on top to build up to be able to pay the loans off in full as I can't overpay them, so each month's figures will include the overpayment to savings.

    My aim is £17,851 for 2012, starting with the first payments next week which will leave us debt free by the end of the year, and I commit to posting every month (stopped in August this year and noticed the difference as I lost focus)

    Good luck everybody    !

    Back already. Ok I am aiming for a tenner per day i.e. 3,660.- plus interest. If I am successfull with the 12k in 2012 challenge then I should be able to pay a lot more. :j(I really really would like to be able to pay 32.- per day but lets just see how it goes.)
