    Wow look at you go, you're on it like sonic!! :D

    Thanks for taking on the thread for 2015. Last year's thread really helped me pay off a lot more than I would have done. I have a small target this year as my card is going to take a bit of a hammering for our holiday.

    Please can you put me down for....£2000.

    Hopefully I will be able to make that. It's slightly out of my comfort zone but what's the point of a target if it's not going to push you a bit!! ;) :rudolf:
    Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!

    Hi there, I would like to join as I have £2330 to pay off as quickly as possible, it's to a family member and is interest free, but needs to go.

    Thanks

    I'd like to sign up too. As of this moment I have:

    MBNA £ 673
    Natwest £ 1,995
    BOS CC £ 3,292
    Barclaycard £ 1223
    Halifax Credit Card £ 774

    Total goal for 2015:
    £7, 957

    I've come a long way since a few years back when this amount was three to four times larger. I'd love to see the back of it in the next 12 months, and I think that I can. Currently working 4 jobs and doing all the overtime possible. As with a few others on here, I have some money coming to me to pay down some more this year, but I'll just call it part of 2015, so I guess I'm cheating a bit, but only by a few weeks :o

    I won't be able to pay it all off because my DFD is December 2016, but I'd like to keep on track and pay off £3478 by Christmas 2015. That will take me to 68% paid off :T

    That'll pay off CC No.1 completely and take me just 2 months shy of CC No.2. And SLC entirely paid :D
