Pay off £20,000 (ish) by Xmas 2008

How on earth could you pay off £20 000 in a year unless you sold something major like a car or house?

Not much happened for me yesterday - although did manage to get through to BT that we have never had two phone lines and so we are going to be refunded £22! (2 months line rental) - not a lot, but every little helps!

I'm going to change my signature so that I can see the percentage of debt I have paid off each month - i am REALLY looking forward to that what a geek i am....

Morning all,
Patchwork cat people have all set different targets as obviously people don't all have the same income or debts..and this thread is just a motivator and to encourage people with the ups and downs of clearing debt.
Welcome to any newbies...and WELL DONE EVERYONE as this is the hardest month of the year for people.
Nothing for me to pay today...my next one is the 27th

Fair enough taxi - I was just stunned as that is an awfully large amount of money - not meant to be aggressive. I could do with some tips so will keep reading avidly.

Evening all, was just wondering if anyone had tried the free online bingo which can be found on the gambling introductory offer loophole board. Although as yet i haven't won anything, lots of people on there have and seeing as its free money you don't really have anything to loose. I'm hoping i'll have more luck tonight.

Just want to say well done to the progress made so far

I am not participating in the challenge as OH will probably be unemployed as of Friday so our income will probably be reduced considerably.

I have convinced him though that snowball works. We are therefor paying every spare penny to next then throwing everything to capital one.

I hope to be stealing a huge amount of tips from this thread so keep up the good work
