    Hi

    Please can I join in please? I want to clear my outstanding car finance in 2020, which currently sits at £11,978.16. I have two years left to pay it off but I really want to clear it this year instead so I can put my money towards a house deposit.

    Thanks

    Evening muppets,

    I'm in again for 2020, #26 please

    Target £20491 - very ambitious, but that would be everything paid off except the mortgage. Was hoping to be a lot less but slightly derailed over the last couple of months with poorly pets and vehicles

    Thank you very much for all your work - we are all truly grateful

    EDIT - 23/12/19 - Changed the number to reflect more accurate end of month balances
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    My target for 2020 is to clear £4000. More than this year - which I cleared half off, but I have signed up to do 2 courses at my local tech to help me do extra jobs in my place of work, so it'll be worth it in the end hopefully.

    So I'll be £0.00/£4000
