    First payment left today. So that's £70.14/£21,321 for me. Its going to be a slow process but every little helps.
    I know there is no way I will clear it all but if I don't focus on it here I won't do anything about it.

    How do i enter this please?

    Just join in cabiocas. If you state what you want to pay off, then muppets will come along and put you on the list (that sounds a bit threatening - sorry) and give you a number.

    Hello,

    You can decide how much of your debt you want to challenge yourself to pay off this year :D
    We are not able to pay off all our this year, but have set a target to work towards, and at the end of the year we can see how a dent in the debt :T

    Muppet will kindly allocate you a number once you have posted your target and will kindly track your progress when you post when you have made a payment or overpayment!
    It's going to be treated with the grand total of how much we are all able to clear in a year :eek:

    Hope this helps

    Thank you, it does help. I think to keep things simple I will use my total debt as at the first of January as my target just for ease :)
    I will set my target on a separate post xx

    Been checking in regularly but paying my overdraft before cards and need to wait til 22nd of each month to see how much I've taken off it or it'll just confuse me �� Hoping for around £800 this month off so better be extra careful and not go near Jan sales !
