Pay off as much as you can in 2013 challenge

Hello! i'd love to join in on this challenge. Me and my partner are moving in a few weeks and had to get a loan out to pay for the things we need as the place we are in now was rented to us with a fridge freezer etc so we need to buy those. We borrowed £2,500 (will be £3,200 when paid) but the sooner we pay it off the better!! (we haven't starting using the loan money yet!)
I did have £180 on some catalogues to pay off but I paid those yesterday! woohoo! so already paying off debt. So If we can, we hope to pay it off in a year rather than 3.
Debt existing: £3,200 plus my personal £50 overdraft I can't get out of. It's not much but I want to cancel it off.
So, £3,250 for me please!! I will update when we pay off the loan each month and any extra we decide to pay off.
Thanks for the inspiration!! xx
Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!

sorry folks its been way too long and have fallen off my dfw wagon- restarting the beast up again and my newly updated signature is £2200/ 8000.
so we are halfway through the year and only a quarter of my target achieved so some tough love needs to be applied and I need to get serious with my NSD and building on the dfw plan. reading everyone's entries is so inspiring and am committed back to the plan.
thanks guys:j:(:jmisselvis proud and in motion - dealing with her debts step by stepDFW #107
