  • Dear muppets and DFW family hope all is going well and in the right financial direction. Have reviewed my debt situation and am making progress in spite of some blips. Can I keep my number from last year and the new total is 0/6500 #107
    Happy New Year folks

  • Please put me down for £3803.55 which is the rest of my student finance overpayment and the final credit card (0% luckily).

    Have more debt but this is block 1 of 3!

    Made a small payment which leaves me with £3774.14 left

    I've bought a load of christmas presents on another credit card but as I've set up an automatic payment to go out to that on Jan 1st I shan't include it!

    Love Boots 50% sales, sorts me right out for the year ahead!!

  • Can I pretty please re-join this challenge? I did join last year with a debt of £2500 and pleased to say as of last week I paid that one off :D
    I've just been getting myself sorted for next year and I need to pay off my credit card, thanks to Christmas and a few unexpected bills things have added up to more than I thought :(

    My debt currently stands at £1,500 - not as scarey as last years but would really like to get rid of it and cut my credit card up forever. Am now looking at how I can delete my card details off my computer so I can't be tempted.

    .......It's £5000....say it quickly lol! This is not all my debt but it will clear up several niggling annoying little ones including my Halifax overdraft of £750 which is high priority

    Wishing us all success in 2017!:T
