    Hi Amara. I'd like to join up again. My target is €1450.

    It's a biggie - and technically I owe it to our savings. I used a medical insurance claim cheque to clear my credit card. But DH thinks it went into a savings account. I want to have the money saved up before we need it for DD1's college fees in September. He's a trusting soul and leaves most of the finance stuff to me and he'd be horrified by any credit card debt. This way all are happy! (Apart from the credit card company!!) And major economy drive on so I'm confident I can do it!

    Hi Amara, thank you for running this challenge.

    I would like to go for £1200 which will mean the end of my car loan and a bit more off my credit card.

    Hi,
    I've tried this challenge before and failed miserably but I intend to give it a go again and hit it with all I have.
    I have a debt of 980.00 that I want rid off.

    Thanks Amara for agreeing to run another chapter, I really appreciate the motivation!

    That's for chipping away at my 3 balances to include the regular monthly payments and some extras to reduce the term.

    Thanks and good luck to everyone!

    Hi Amara,

    Thanks for running this again, last challenge was abit of a nightmare for me as my cat got run over and cost me £3000 over his insurance limit (which was not small) I paid a chunk off with savings which were earmarked for the last challenge and a new fence:eek: but I am still left with £1352 on my cc which wasn't there before so i'd like to get rid of that this challenge :D
    can't wait till im out of debt and have an emergency fund rather than every emergency putting me that bit further away from being debt free than I was before:o
