    Hi, Can I join please? I am a new member.

    My total debt is £5996.12 This is the 'official debt' from my latest statements, but once the payments have cleared in January I will update.

    Unless the Universe lets me win the lottery in 2017, it won't all be cleared a year today, so whilst I am aiming for as much as possible, I will be ecstatic with a £1500 decrease in the debt next year.
    Evening Florence and welcome. You are #53. You can set your target to whatever you like, it doesn't have to be the full debt amount.

    Muppets sorry to do this to you (espically on a nice shiny thread) but thanks to my mum deciding she wants to take the holiday fund I asked her to put aside for me I have a new figure of 4993.19
    I'll be back to make a payment later today
    Evening Megano, instead of changing your target, why not just put the £440,09 as money paid off since you did pay your mum back. xx

  • Hi Muppets

    I am #2 and have just noticed on the first page my target is £1,200 instead of £12,000

    :eek: It will be a while yet before I get to £1,200 :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Thank you :A
    SP 9#531=£620/SP 10 # 531=?PDBX 2016 #2 = £16,766.67/£12,000
    PDBX 2017 #2 = £1,200/£12,000

    It's a bit of a bitter pill to swollow when your mum not only decides to steal money you've asked her to keep aside but throws in little dig comments.

    I don't want reminded of her every time I make a step forward.
