Hi Guys,

I dropped off the challenge in April last year when I had terrible, tragic family loss and then my partner lost his job but I am back now. We have 3k less debt than this time last year because I was in this challenge so I am aiming to stick it the full year and kick some ASSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I will have to tot up my totals this evening but please count me in!

Hi everyone- this is definitely the challenge for me- can I join in pretty please?

My dfd is june 2014- but have recently suggested to OH that with a real push I could try to clear this by christmas next year- then I spotted this challenge... must be fate.

I have spent time today adding up the debt total: this stands at ...* drum roll*

£11364.68

I'm hoping to clear this by christmas 2013.

Good luck everyone xx

I really wanted to get started so I have padded £1.50. My total so far........

£1.50/6500 - 0.02%

Welcome to all the new people! I'm happy today as I've been accepted for a 0% credit card. Okay, so they've only given me a £1500 limit but it means I can transfer £1500 off the highest rate CC -we have nearly £10K on 2 cards, one at 27% and one at 25% :eek: (This was pre MSE when I didn't realise you could reject rate rises :mad:)

Baby steps maybe, but we'll get there in the end.....

Wow, not been on here for a few days and had 4 pages to catch up on! Big welcome and hello to the newbies and those returning to the thread.

Wore my new shoes last night and wow they were high! BUT I did manage to get the dancefloor and bust a few moves , also weighed myself this morning and I've hit my target - I've lost a stone in 3 months :D:D:D:D:D Think I'll set myself the same target again as I've still got some more to shift (another 3 :eek:)

Hello everyone! We've had a busy day seeing friends and buying running shoes :j For DH and me we have spent £150 but worth every penny for free fitness for the year. :money: I have had my shoes for ages and trained for a marathon in them so really needed some new ones...and they were very stinky! :eek:

Now having a hair of the dog and enjoying Saturday night :beer::beer:

Count me in too please. Have £5,213 to go. Will be aiming to earn more through babysitting and spend less through grocery challenge and general cutting back. Debt free this time next year will be an amazing feeling!

Losing a stone (especially in December!!) is amazing, well done :T

Well done! All of ours is 0% or 6.9% for now, it really is a weight off when you get a good deal :T
