    Add me please.

    Oooooh it would be so good if I was number 13 again for next year.

    My target is going to be £6000 again this year but this time I am going to count the whole payment not just the overpayment.

    Jwil you are a star to do this again :)

    I shall see if I can slot you in at number 13 again o2bfree :D

    I'd like to set a more realistic target next year :rotfl: ;) of half my debt! £6000 please :D!!!

    Hi.
    Can i sign up to this please? This will be a first for me as i didnt join in 2011's thread.
    As you can see from my signature, i don't have much to pay off, but i have a very small income so it's taking ages and it's a struggle!

    EDIT- sorry, i didn't realise we had to post a goal, mine will be the full £2001. Thanks!

    I'd like to join in again please. I think my target will be 4000, although my debt should be under this by January, I'll overpay any extra on the mortgage/pay off the overdraft.

    Good to see you again seasideDreamer - great that you will be DF next year :)

    Hi cleggie, good to have you on board :) Debt's all relative, hence everyone can set their own target, someone aiming to clear £50 would be just as welcome as someone wanting to clear thousands. Good luck! :)

    Welcome wot-a-mess - any of the three options are fine - just let me know your target when you decide. Last year I did number 1, this year I'm doing number 3 (not including mortgage). I'll add you to the list now :)
