    Ohhh hi everyone :D I will add you all soon... I have decided on my challenge £200 in 100 days. Its not much but I only have a small debt on 0% so this will clear it with a bit to spare. So £2 a day or £14 a week! Here goes....
  • Can I join please? I haven't got much spare cash at the moment but I'd like to try and save up £300 to pay for a xmas presents for my parents & siblings (agreed with friends to have a credit crunch xmas this year and make our own gifts!) and a tree/ decs for the house, most years this all goes on the credit card! Thanks :)

    Great! This ties in with one of my personal goals - to pay my Tesco Card by Christmas! Please put me down to clear £4,000 from my card by 9 Dec.

    Off we go!

    I'd like to join :j

    I'd like to save 2876.71 - it's my rent for 100 days, I don't really like living here and want to be able to move out early but my landlady on't let me out of the contract early so if I could save three months rent I'd feel like I wasn't losing so much - if that makes any sense at all!

    I think I have a bit to Ebay and want to try Matched Betting - just have to get my head round it... erm, other than that, I don't know... but I reckon it's worth a try and I'll give it my all :D

    Great idea btw!

    Hello could I join please?

    I would like to pay off my Citibank card, it is one of many but small debt with high interest (34.9!!!). Amount is £236.26. It will help me stay focussed the challenge as I have some overtime coming up and money from Quidco due :rotfl: which could so easily get eaten up if I didn't have a challenge :confused:
