    Great idea hun, instead of paying it off towards a debt i'll put a little extra into my savings like pap.

    Good luck everyone x

    Like this idea - even though I am doing the £10 a day challenge (not very successfully as yet!) it often happens that the extras made don't find their way to the debt repayment. So I will have a go at this and plan to pay an average of £10 a day extra off the debts - with minimum of a pound, maximum of the whole lot (should I win the lottery!)

    Welcome everyone :D

    It's day 2 and I have just paid off £1.90 via internet banking. Thought I would round it off a bit. I haven't got much money at the moment though so that will have to do for today.

    Therefore, my card is down to £375 :j .

    Whata good idea. Can you do this post every week? I can't join in this week as my mortgage is due to go out Friday and I don't have enough in the bank to pay that :eek: .

    but hopefully next week, once the next pay check goes in then I could afford to do this.

    I am guessing this is on top of your usual payment to the credit card?

    I will start with my Egg card I own £775 on it.

    Join in whenever you can :D - it could include your usual payment as that is paying some off the card so it would count. Make sure you up the balance though if any interest gets put on :o . Good luck!!
