  • I would like to join as I failed miserably last year.

    £2400 is my aim- as I am writing this I have a 0.1% of actually achieving it but I will try my hardest!

  • Hello everyone..please may I join you :wave:

    I've tried a few challenges but unfortunately some days (or even weeks :o ) there isn't quite enough to make extra payments

    I have a capital one card which my snowball says should be paid in January 2014 - If I can bring that forward a month or two to have it paid before Christmas this year I will be very pleased!

    Total is £1597 I can only make minimum payments until I've cleared my little debts off ... but that shouldn't take long (famous last words)

    good luck everyone : )

    :cool: 31.15% paid :T
  • I love the sound of this thread!! I'm aiming to be debt free by 30 in 3.5 years but maybe by joining this thread I'll have some extra motivation and pay more off where I can! So I'm guna aim for £3000 to clear the majority of my Barclaycard. That seems so much but if I was trying to spend that much I imagine it'd be pretty bloody easy! Here we go. Good luck to everyone!! £0/£3000 so far...

    Hi Everyone.

    I'm really pleased with how well I've done so far. I have 3 jobs so my money comes in, in dribs and drabs.

    I changed my target debt as its on a bnpl which is due after the 0% ends on my tesco credit card.

    So far I have paid off;
    £232.56 / £1923.07. I have to pay approx £300 every month to clear it by June when 0% rate ends. By the end of the month I will have just touched the target :A.

    :T to me and everyone else lol.

    Morning all!!! Welcome to the newbies, you are more than welcome to join in. I don't assign individual numbers, so you just need to keep track of what you have paid and the balance of the debt you are trying to pay off.
    I have only managed the minimum monthly payments so far this year......But am hoping to throw a little extra cash at my debt to get it paid off ASAP.

    Keep up the good work :T:T:T:T

    Hi everyone

    I don't report in every time I make a payment as my money comes in dribs and drabs.

    For the end of the month my target debt currently stands at

    352.29 / 1923.07

    I'm sooooo pleased as my target is £300 each calendar month. I have to pay this by June so I keep within in the 0% rate.

    I have to say without the motivation and support from other DFW there's no way I would have been able to do this well. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!

    Target for February is £300, bring it on............
