    Thanks so much for organising all of this Emily, I am bursting to start making internet payments each day. As soon as my mortgage payment has gone out and I ACTUALLY have some money left :-)

    Our banks will think we have gone made, hehehe
  • First thing I did this morning was to log on and pay off my £5... Might not be able to pay this off every day, but I'll see how it goes.

    I've paid £1.50 this morning and organised £1.50 to come out Saturday and Sunday as I won't be at home! Put loads on Ebay last night so when I get the money for that I'll start paying off larger amounts.

    Morning! :wave:

    I had a phone call from my little brother who needs help with his rent. :(

    He needs £500... That's what my credit card is. *sniff*

    I should get it back from him within 6 weeks. *crosses fingers*

    I think I'm going to have to change my amount to £2 per day.

    So, as it's Friday and payday I have paid in £6 to cover today, saturday and sunday.

    I promise to change back to £5 per day once he pays the money back.

    Well done everyone so far! :D

    Ooooh can I join??

    I will have a slightly different take on it though, I do have a few small debts left now but am paying them off monthly. I want to use this challenge (if I may :)) to make a payment towards Xmas 2008 so that I don't have too much of a debt in the new year and have to start the year off on a bad credit foot.....again :rolleyes: So I suppose I am paying off a debt, but doing it before I get it :rotfl:

    I probably won't be able to put that much away a day, it might only be my coppers and small change but I shall do it daily. It will go towards all the quidco cashback, daily clicking and survey answering I'm doing for a free xmas :beer: I've got 3 kids so anything helps :D

    I'm a bit skint till Monday, but I shall be putting in £1 for today, Even if I can only afford a £1 a day, that's still £140 off xmas :D

    I've only just seeen this thread and I love it!!!! :D

    Would anyone mind if I join in too?
    I'm paying debts off an old council tax bill every week, payments are made online too, so its pretty easy to just transfer money. The amount to pay off is £125. Not alot left now I know!
    I don't have any spare cash really, so I was going to round down the amount in my bank account so there's only whole pounds in there. I'm going to be ebaying alot of stuff over the next week so that will go in too.

    Please please please can I join in??!! :D
