  • I'm new to all this, but can I join your challenge? I'll set my target at £10000, which is £2200 more than my regular yearly repayments. My husband has just lost a small fortune worth of work for this year, otherwise my target would have been higher. Hopefully things will pick up and I can up my target..

    Things often seem slow at this time of the month - most direct debits have gone out and it is still a week or two until payday, so we are scrabbling around for extra money to pay off as an overpayment!

    But we are all doing really well - hang on in there, and that next payment won't be too far away!

    Well done everyone, keep going. Tough month this month because of tax, but our remortgage has given us some breathing room, so hoping to pay off a chunk later in the month. Can't wait for my bills to arrive so I can get on with it. What a weirdo!

    spentit, consider yourself (along with all new joiners) duly added - you don't have a number yet but you will do soon!

    I have made a loan payment today but most of it is interest.....my capital has, however, still reduced by £15.54 so I have duly amended my signature.....

    chipping away....keep going guys!
