    Not that I wish to put any MORE pressue on Hypno - but are you planning to do a monthly (or less frequent!) update so we can see how much everyone has paid off? might be good motivation for everyone when we see how well we are all doing!

  • umm re the rquest for monthly updates can I just say that would be an awful lot of work for hypno as there are now well over a hundred challengers and that would mean over a thousand records to update over the year! Not wanting to be a party pooper but could we not just keep our siggies updated? Just very concious that hypno is one busy lady....just my two penneth...I'll shut up now...nothing to update although chuffed that its payday this week at last!

    Hi everyone

    Just checking in. Managed £1322 so far this month, which has been very hard as it's Christmas, but I'm pleased as I now only have 4 payments to go of £279 per month on a loan, so I'm going to see if I can settle it in 2, and free up the £279 for my debt snowball....

    Keep up the great work!

    OK, everyone! I think that we are up to date........

    As for keeping totals, some have them in their sig some don't. At the end of the month please post on the thread what your current total is - if you want to put it in your sig then fab too because that motivates everyone who reads any of your posts! But as far as my record keeping is concerned, a once a month blitz on the thread will be more than enough! We have 127 people taking part so it is going to be a huge job, however we do it!

    Actually, I am so fed up - I have just lost the bloody spreadsheet. I had saved it and everything. Now it has gone.

    Oh well, that is a couple of hours of my life that has passed by.......
