    Hi Dragon,

    I am bouncing over to here from the Olympic Challenge. I did feel gutted that I didnt do better with that one, however I will start again with this challenge and see how well I can do. It will be a slow start as I am presently not working due to our new arrival but hopefully I will pick up pace when I start working again.

    My starting figure is £8300.

    Thanks

    Lozza :)

    A change of pace £180 from my total ( or 3x£60 as seems to be my tune just now)

    Thanks for the response. I think that the most motivating way for me to participate is if I report payments made during the month and then at the end of each month I can do an update of the outstanding balance. So based on that please put me down for £619.84 so far this month

    Some great results being reported on here - well done everyone
  • Another payment today of £538.60 which completely pays off one card with a life of balance rate :j

    Ok, well i've subscribed to this thread after massively failing to clear my debt in time for the London Olympics :D.

    Thanks for the new thread The Dragon. I'll return with an up-to-date total of all my debt at some point. But i'll need a wee dram of something medicinal first before facing up to that daunting task! ;)
  • 2 more payments this week totalling £84.11

    I am on track for my monthly repayment target and have been very good at resisting temptation in the summer sales. I even got as far as putting items into an online shopping basket, leaving the site and then deciding I didn't need any more clothes so didn't go back to check out. Feeling very virtuous and hoping I can keep it up
  • Another 2 payments totalling £254.88 so I've exceeded my target for the first month of the challenge (only another 24 months to go!)
