    Ciara, It's okay... I have that affect on people :D

    We can egg each other on better now anyway can't we!

    My mum's been back in touch, it's £1499.91... (so £1500 really wasn't far off was it!).
    I haven't paid anything off it as yet, as mums only just had the statement through after transferring it all on there.

    I have totalled up what the £10/day challenge wil bring me by Christmas eve... £1880. (that is quite likely wrong, so feel free to correct me! :o ) So... if I can manage to keep up with the £10/day and save it all aside, I can use that to pay back my mum by Christmas. :o

    Heres to hoping... :rolleyes:

    Hi,

    I would like to join too. I won't be able to get rid of all my debts but would like to reduce my debt from £23,485 to £18,000 by Xmas. My OH has just got a job (for 8 weeks but well paid) so may be able to reduce it by a bit more but want a realistic and achievable goal.

    My debts are a mix of credit cards and a loan and I want to get rid of £5,485. Could you add me please Doodledoo. Thanks.
