oooh...i like this challenge. Practically I dont think I can actually pay it on a daily basis as dont have access to debt online but I will put a daily amount into a pot and pay it weekly into the bank.
Please add me in and give me a number. First debt I want to tackle is the mortgage arrears which are £2800.
Have put aside £1 today to start me offDFW 228 LONG H 68

Hi All,
I'm new to the forum, but I like this idea a lot! Please add me, and I'll get cracking on my smallest credit card debt of £420.0 -
Newbie here, I saw this and suddenly got a bit of inspiration :j
I'm going to use this to pay off my highest interest rate debt which is my credit card, I owe £214. I'll start putting money towards it everyday starting tomorrow as I don't have a penny to my name until then0 -
I would love to join this challenge! The debt I would like to pay off is Barclaycard with a balance of £371.83.
My bank account automatically pays £5 every Friday, so I will start on Saturday after I've paid for my car repairs tomorrow and I know how much I have left. Eeep.I like to make money
Best wins: £3,000 luxury holiday, holiday in Cornwall, £250 Murad Skincare hamper, angle grinder
:j Make £10 a day challenger - it pays for trips to Florida! :j

I lost a baby recently so haven't been on top of things as much as I should have so I think this challenge will give me the motivation I need. I am aiming to pay off initially an Ace cards account.
count me in
love welshy x
Hi Welshy
Welcome to the challenge.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I remember how hard it was for my sister when Joshua died. Take care of yourself.
