  • Hi Everyone...I'd like to Join this Challenge please. I haven't yet figured out what I owe so that's my personal Challenge for December and then I can figure out what I want to clear in 2013...So I'll declare my Target at the end of the Year if that's okay??

    I want to clear my whole Debt before I'm 40...That gives me 5 Years to do it....I don't earn a lot of money so that's why it will take me that long to clear it all....but I'll get there!!

    Thanks very much :)

    Good luck Helen ! Can I be really nosey and ask what BBB is in your signature please x I took a few days to sit and work out exactly what I owe I didn't enjoy the figures but it was a huge relief once put down on paper x
    2 week 5:2=5.5lb off.

    Hi KCF

    I have added you to the list (in the second post!)

    I can also include a target if you have one - let me know....

    Just pop your number in your signature to make it a little easier for me to keep track of how much you have paid

    and then just post on here to update your paid off total - some people post each time thay make a payment some post just once a month....its up to you.

    If you are unsure about anything just ask we are a very friendly lot.....

    Good luck with your debt busting...
