    Hi

    I'd love to join please. We got married at Christmas and are starting married life with just over £20,000 of debt, which is devastating us.

    I'm setting a target of £10,000 to be made in payments which should reduce the overall debt by £9,200 since a lot of it is (thankfully) on 0%.

    So far we've made payments of £678/£10,000 since the 1st January.

    Here's to a DFW year!!

    Thanks for the thread Jwil :beer:

    Debbie

    Welcome to the challenge debbie_debt and congratulations on getting married! Good luck with the debtbusting :)

    Yes, it is. I saw the northern lights whilst I was there - hands down the most amazing experience I've had. Just sat on the sea front by the Viking ship watching the lights, fantastic.

    Payment of £100 today taking my running total to £107.91/£6000
    That total is not really running at the moment more like walking still getting over the excesses of Christmas and I may have booked my first ever family holiday abroad!!
