Hi there
I've paid £50 to the Barclays overdraft. I've had good news in the form of a tax rebate today of over £500 whooopppeeeee! I will be paying this off my debts as soon as the cheque clears. I will keep you posted.
Good luck and happy becoming-debt-free!

Is it too late to join? It would be great to be on a journey with others. Lovely challenge. I think I will aim for £2,500 and hopefully a bit more. But I think that figure is defo doable, and not wanting to set myself up to fail.

Thanks jwil for the thread, hope you don't mind my late arrival.

oops I thought I'd already posted here to say I'd like to join- maybe I didn't click on post reply- not a great start!

I WILL clear £7124 in 2012, hopefully in the first 7 months but we shall see!

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!

Welcome MissShoes, Marru and Kellyjelly, it's great to have you all with us. Good luck with the debtbusting

Thanks for the updates everyone. Payday tomorrow for me, hurrah! I've also just finished an ebay listing marathon so hopefully some more funds over the next few weeks.
