    I won't be posting my first update until next month as I am finishing the 2011 challenge first, but it's funny, I'm itching to start afresh now.

    Does anyone else have that? Coming to the end of the year want to start new challenges etc - a fresh start in time for the new year? Or am I just weird :rotfl:

    No I feel the same JWIL - I am already playing with my Jan 2012 spreadsheet! I wish I could wish away the debt as fast :D For the first time in my life, even though I have debt, I feel that I have some sort of control over it.
  • jwil, can we start from this month or need to wait 'til jan.

    No you can start straight away if you want to wot-a-mess that's fine :). There's a few of us here on the 2011 challenge, so we will be putting in the last payments for that challenge first, but anyone can start as soon as they are ready!
