Hey PaP,
Would love to join in this challenge if I may.
As I am no longer in debt I would like to do the savings challenge to add to my house saving fund I would like to save £1000 in 100 days0 -
Sounds like a great idea - am really tired (teething baby grrrr!) so will come back to it in the morning when I can think a bit straighter but think it's just what I need!20K by Xmas 2010 (10 in 10 challenge - debt):
Debt: £799.21/£10500
Savings: £0 / £95000 -
Hi Pap, great idea for a challenge. I will pay off my Capital One credit card (600.00) and my MBNA credit card (1172.47) in the 100 days. Total of 1772.47 so aiming for 18.00 a day! x xPay Debt by Xmas 16 - 0/12000

Sounds like the ideal replacement to the Olympic challenge PAP, it's been a while
I've started my own this weekend actually so will run mine until 30th November but right along with you, if that's okay?
Hi Gem, Sure you can join would you still like to be put into the main post?
~~~
Thanks to all who have signed up so far I have put you all in the main post I hope the list isnt too hard to read. Remember you cant actually start attacking this challenge untill September the first, however if you plan to use ebay/sell online there is nothing stopping you from listing your items so the auctions etc end on the 1stI personally am unsure of what to aim for jut now I am still planning :rotfl: However I am 100% behind this challenge and if it works I may re-run it in the new year :T
Have a great Sunday all :beer:0 -
Okay I have consulted the Oracle that I call my budget spreadsheet!!
If I stick to my normal payments I would get to about £4900 by 9th December give or take a few pounds. My goal is to overpay and get that debt down to £4000. Even if I get to £4500 I might well do enough to bring the debt free date forward by a month!
So my goal is: to overpay and be at £4000 by the end of the challenge.
Better think about how I will achieve this while I am scrubbing the kitchen floor!
Good luck everyone!

Hi Pap
What a great idea. 100 days is long enough to be able to achieve some debt-busting but not so long that I will lose interest (terrible for doing that!!).
I would love to join please. My target debt at the moment is my Barclaycard but that is only just under £250 and I am going to start clearing that on the PAD challenge when I get paid.
So I would like to save £1,000 for this challenge and then at the end of it I am going to make a F&F offer to the DCA that has my Capital One card which is currently just over £1,000.
So that's a nice even £10 a day I'm trying to save.
Good luck everyone

Yeah sure. I'll aim for £1000 for now - not sure I can make it but will tryNo longer using this account for new posts from 20130 -
what a fab idea, can I join?
I would love to clear my cap one card (currently just under £500) but not sure if that is too much, would be very happy to get it to under £250 in the 100 days so that will be my goal.
