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!!!!!

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!!!!0 -
Righto, I've started today too. Just zeroed my account from last month but its a start.
I'm going to have to get a job for this challenge so going to scour the job ads...0
