HELP,,,IS THERE A THREAD FOR ME

I want to have an aim for this challenge but it all depends on when i start my new job as a bank healthcare assistant, what with needing a health assessment, a crb check and two week training course, i dont think it will be until june or july, so until then i dont want to commit to this challenge, however i am already thinking of ways to do it. I have on the other hand started doing surveys, cashback sites and daily clicks etc, my aim with doing these is to be able to have a free christmas or as near to a free christmas as possible, is there a thread that combines all of this or do i have to do each seperately, i need to start posting what i am up to with this challenge i have set myself so that i keep motivated, can anyone help.

This is such a flexible challenge that you can do whatever you need! so, why not decide to do a six month challenge to take you up to November, which will give you a nice amount for Christmas?

You can report in here - no problem! Just put the amount that you are aiming for in your signature and keep tabs on here whenever you save something towards it!

Welcome aboard!

Hi

Just updated spreadsheets etc after pay day. Since last December I have paid off £7401. :j

No where near the £20K goal but it's great to see how much I have paid off.

I am dipping my toe in your world of sorting out my debts and making some money. For now i want to make £1000 to have a free christmas 2009 or as near to that as possible. I have a couple of cheques from getting rid of two mobile phones, and i have two decent totals from quidco and cashbackkings, when they are awarded i will update my signature. I received my first £3 luncheon vouchers from pinecone research, these have been put into a tin, hopefully i can add to the tin with these, and put it towards my food shopping at christmas. If i dont start thinking about christmas now then it will be upon me in the blink of an eye, and i will end up using a credit card to pay for it, which gets me on to my next challenge, i am starting this in june/july when i begin working, the money i make from this will go straight to the debt free fund. Thankyou for letting me join your thread hypno.

Hello,
No payments to report for me I'm afraid - however I have been doing some good work. I've been feeling a bit sorry for myself and been very tempted to do some spending the last couple of weeks, so I decided it was time I close down all those old cards and accounts just to be safe.

So I've closed:
HSBC Current Account (with £500 o/d)
Cahoot Current Account (with £300 o/d)
HSBC Platinum Card (with £10,000 limit)
& I've reduced my Amex card limit from £6,000 to £3,000.

To think....they were all full to the brim a couple of years ago!

Keep up the good work - you're all wonderful
