    I will update all new people to the challenge this evening.......

    I received a little bit of quidco cash plus a scratchcard payout today, so have paid another £30 overpayment to the Egg loan today.

    P, get ebay/amazoning etc like there is no tomorrow! You have a challenge to partake in and I don't want you slacking :D

    Taxi, well done - off the mark.....you will be waaaay ahead of us before you know it!

    I put an item on Ebay last night - whatever I get for it (hopefully I get something) it will go straight off my CCs.

  • Hypno, can you sign my up for the full 20k please!
    I like your logic... if I'm paying a fortune each month anyway then surely it can't be that difficult (famous last words) to up the ante and get 20 fat ones knocked of my debt in a year.

    How much do you think I'll get on E-bay for a boisterous puppy and a Wife? :D

  • Hi

    Could I please join this thread too, I have £17,000 of cc debt so would have that as my aim.

    I have a bet with my bf that I can pay off my credit card debt before he gets his inheritance in December 09 so this is a great challenge for me.

    I'm also doing the £15k paper hat challenge, but will start from 0 with this challenge and will just add the payments I make from now to my total.

    I'm loving all these challenges. Will be doing the Payment a Day one after Xmas to pay off earlier.

    Thanks

    I was able to get a payout on my free scratchcards this morning, so another £10 off my total....
    I've also done 2 MS and I have another 1 today and I've got some other work I'm doing too...it soon all adds up.
    I wouldn't have wasted this extra money but having a running total is really encouraging!
