    usual monthly payments sent across, and an additional £51 that I had refunded by Argos after they dropped the price of items I'd bought for Xmas in the sales :D so we're at £208.43/£1240

    Right so £20k guess this needs to go over two years but made the first dent in making £220 on eBay so that is an additional payment on top of the payment made this week which was £150

    Is this a good start? Do hope so and that I can keep it going!

    Good Morning!

    Newbie here, although I've been reading the DFW board for a long time.

    Can you put me down for £8000 please?

    This won't clear my debt but its a good start and hopefully i'll be able to find ways to pay some extra too     :D

    Hi I’m new to the boards and would really like to join.

    I have £38,000 worth of debt (was 46k in October)

    I want 8000 at least gone by the end of the year. Don’t want to put myself under pressure by setting my goal unrealistically high but I will review it every 2 months
