    Well end of December and I have paid off £1058 off of my 8.5k target.

    If I managed to stick to that amount then I will pay off over 12K next year but I am sure life will get in the way of such a fantastic amount.

    Can't wait to get on with 2013. xx
  • Another £35 off my total PAD in today so this makes £46.92/£671.92 trickling away x
    2 week 5:2=5.5lb off.
  • Sorry folks .... been having a think and not sure that this challenge is going to work for my OD :(

    Really like the idea of it - but there's no minimum payment and I won't (very often) be making additional payments to it - it's really just trying to make cuts and reduce it by not taking money out each month :(

    I love reading about the payments people are making but it's also making me a bit depressed as my total's not changing :o

    So .... thinking I may have to withdraw - or just hover in the background and post a total at the end of the year (but to me, that really defeats the object of a challenge as it's the support you get that spurs you on to succeed :T)

    Not sure if there's another challenge that's better suited to clearing an OD (much harder than clearing the c/cards!) so any suggestions welcome!:)
