    Hi Spag Bol and thanks for starting the thread.:j

    I have been looking at the debts and have added a little more. I would like to start afresh and if I look at the previous figure and see 85% paid off I will start to procrastinate.

    So for 2013 I would like to declare my target as

    £6500

    This is over what I need to pay off but want to start saving for new windows and a kitchen.:rotfl:

  • Hi everyone
    I am in again this year and would like to pay off my remaining debt of £2224 and overpay on my mortgage so that I am free of the negative equity so please put me down for

    6424:j:j

    Less than last year as this year was painful at times!
    I'd like to save something too but I have not set a target on that.

    Hey everyone! Nice shiny new thread! Can I please ask that any current DFBX12'ers make sure that they put their end of years totals onto the old thread so I can do my DFBX12 Challenge total after midnight tonight?

    Thanks everyone xxx
