    Hey guys its me again :D After being hit (overnight) with £46,000 of debt(then add on for laser eye surgery and a hefty dentist bill) I had to pull out of this in 2015. But the debts down to under £30k so i am back looking to smash this!! I need to save half of this amount(£15k) in 2016 then use it as a lump sum at the end to clear debts(the other 15k will go away with the minimum payments. So i could well be debt free in a years time. Keep up the fantastic work SF, you are a massive help to hundreds of us!

    Hi, could you please put me down for £3,000? I would love to save more but I have credit cards to pay off first-for the first few months my savings will be quite small but hoping to pick them up once my credit cards are paid off (March/April time)
