HI,
I [strike]am[/strike] was a newbie in this Forum but already have found out how useful it is to participate the challenges and what a nice way it is to interact with others. I have collected here list of challenges I have found so far and they are from across the forum but I thought that for DFWs they would be most usefull so put the thread in here. I am sure I have not been able to find all of the challenges so could you please let me know if I have missed any and of course of all the new challenges. Please can you include a link as well. Thanks!
I hope this will be usefull for other members and especially for all other newbies.

I have just discovered this thread, its great.
I especially love the save £365 in 365 days challenge i'm definitely going to do that next year you could buy half of next with that in the sales.
I also might do some of the weight loss challenges as i'm on a bit of a health binge at the moment.0 -
Well done Tixy, you'll do a great job at it, I'm sure:T:T:T:T

Although I've been an avid reader of the emails I've never posted before. Now on what could be permanent sickness, due to being diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, I NEED to clear debts and get some badly needed cash for my family.
I've read some of the challenges and think they're great. Excuse me for being slightly thick but do I just see which I want to do.....and.....well.......do them???
Any help on how to get started to be debt free would be fantastic.
Many thanks to all

Hi Tina and welcome
Yep thats about it - just see which take your fancy, have a read of the thread (or some of it in the case of the very long threads) and then just post that you'd like to join in as well.
Some people post on them regularly, other just pop on and update how they are doing now and then. But generally the people will help and support and suggest tips to each other.
As to starting on the road to debt freedom then certainly the challenges are a good start, as is preparing a statement of affairs - which lists your income and outgoings and sees how much you should have left for debt repayments. If you are feeling brave post it up on a new thread on this forum for people to make suggestions as to how you cam manage or how to reduce costs etc - have a read of this thread - Help for First Time Posters & SOA CalculatorA smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0
