    Can you add me to the list please. I've recently had an unpleasant financial shock and so want to be debt free (excl the mortgage) within 3 years. This is a great idea - seeing the total figure outstanding is horrific, but this helps make it seem achievable.



    My 1% is £190


    Thanks

    I still need to cash my Populus cheque to get my next 2.5% and I'm close to receiving another!
    My OH owes me £200 which I'll throw right towards this debt when I get it back at the end of this month :j
