    I'm finally off the starting block! I've paid off 277.17 leaving me a total of 12,053.93 to go.

    I'll only go on what the cc statement says rather than what I throw at the card, so will only update once a month. I am lurking though...

    Yes please, I'd like to join! I apportioned some of my debt for the Olympic challenge (which I'll continue to do) but this thread will [STRIKE]hopefully[/STRIKE] clear ALL my debt by 2014. So, my total debt at this moment is £34424.16 :eek: Yikes! I'll also update on a monthly basis :)
