    Hi,
    I'm new to all this, can I join in please? I started making £5 payments to a cc on Friday so have now paid £15. Once this is cleared (it's my smallest and only £160) I will carry on with all my others.
    I already pay weekly for all my debts.
    Thanks for this great idea!

    Just paid my £1 towards my barclaycard :j

    Also I opened up an internet saver account and put £2 in it, I'm getting my 'save the change' money put into there, havent quite decided what to do with it yet, it's either towards xmas or when it gets to a decent amount I'll put it towards a debt.

    Hi Emily,

    A brilliant challenge & I really want to join in - clearing my capital one card (current balance £ 2,764 :eek: ). Have just spent the last half hour trying to register for on line payments but the stupid telephone number box will only accept 4 digits so wont let me proceed further :mad: :confused: :mad: Have just spent another 10 mins on hold in a queue trying to complain about said registration process :mad: :mad: :mad: . Unfortunately 0845 numbers are not freebies so decided that holding not very MSE & will try again later.

    Sorry for rant :o but pleeeease let me join your club :D

    I'd like to join if I can, please. :) I'm going to work on my Egg card (£2150 owing) since they've just put up the interest to stupid percent! Bit of a tight month this month as I've just booked my flights to visit my parents, but even 50p a day would make a difference!

    My Amazon payment for some DVD's I sold cleared today. £8 - so off the loan it goes....

    I know I won't be able to keep this amount up each day, but I may as well whilst I can.

    Even if it's £1 a day, that's still an extra £30-31 a month or £365 a year on top of any minimum payments, so it is definitely worth it if you can find a way....
    fab idea ....and well done Original poster fab idea x
