    Ah what the heck, start now if you like!!!!!

    On your marks......get set.......GO :T

    Will add names to the list later - If I haven't "thanked" you, it is because that is my way of reminding me to add you in when I have time (at work now, so should be doing something proper!). So don't be offended if you are not thanked - it is just my record-keeping system!!!!!

    Good luck everyone!!!

  • hey all,

    Well, i started this morning, got double my usual bonus (a whopping £50 extra lol) this would normally be swallowed by some useless expense, so i have transferred it straight into my saver to stop me from spending it.

    As soon as i have £500 in my saver its going to clear my overdraft.

    Once my overdraft is clear im attacking my CC with everything i can throw at it! At the moment there is £4500 on there, if i can get that cleared by August i recon i will be on track (she says)

    Well done to everyone, im so motivated at the moment, GO US!!!!
