    Hi guys, is the "a payment a day challenge" running for 2012? Sorry if it is and I've missed but would love to give this a go...have seen it on older threads for 2010 etc!!

    Every penny helps and makes you feel good for paying £ off no matter how big or small the amount is!!

    Would be happ to start a thread for this and subtotal everyone's together... Thanks guys
