    Ok, Im going to join this. I have 3 debts that need to be paid off PDQ, no interest on them. Total is £1850, but I cant pay in dribs and drabs, got to be full amounts. I was thinking of opening an ISA and saving a daily amount into that, what do you all think? I should have started saving in feb but have been putting it off.

    Will also include my hsbc loan, which I have included in the clear a debt by xmas challenge, as I am struggling with that. I have to go into branch to do that, so will put something aside daily and then pay once a week.

    Im supposed to be taking a break from overpaying in August, so you havent seen me...

    Sorry - bit confused :rolleyes: , do you want me to add you to the challenge?

    OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh I'm in!!!!!

    Credit card with £856.85 with Intelligent Finance (such an ironic name for them really!)....
    Which I would like cleared as soon as possible, since its our highest APR card (19.9%) ARGH I managed to BT the majority of the orginal amount to a 2.9% with Abbey but this was the overhang.....

    So I'm off to go and pay this months minimum which is £17.13.... and then everything after today, is extra... :)

    Bl&&dy marvellous idea E!

    Ok i've decided to save money in a pot and pay it in when i have a chance! My debts are £500 o/d and £1500 on the Barclaycard. Hope this works as well in practice for me as its sounds in theory. Wish i'd thought this up!!! Tink x
