One debt Vs 100 days

Hiya!
What a great idea! I've needed a push for a while as the debt-busting has gone a bit quiet lately for me! :rotfl:
Could I join and aim to pay off my Natwest Student Overdraft of £691.10?
Not sure how I'm going to do it as I've sold almost everything in my house
, but I will persevere! :rotfl:
Good luck everyone! :T xMortgage when started (Dec 2013): £157,272.50
Current mortgage (date): £156,885.56

Hi Everyone,
Please can I join in on this challenge. I was hoping to try and pay my MBNA card off by the end of the year so if I could do it that little bit earlier that would be great.
I really need something to make me focus on this and think this will give me the extra push.
My current balance is £2564.32.Debt at LBM (May 2007) - £32,891
Debt at 06.04.10 - £9158.57. Getting there slowly. :j

Definitely star, I have 24 turbo listed ready to set live on Saturday. I have at least another 9 to list this week :rolleyes: If anyone uses quidco there are loads of 'free' money to be had. Like if you take out a payday loan you could have £30 profit. Also bingo sites ask for £10 deposit and you get £20 back through quidco :j Worth having a look, plus most would clear and be in your account before the challenge ends too!0 -
Does anyone know if you can do the pay loan thing twice?
i did it once sometime last year? I am wondering if I can do it again ?
Good to see lots of people. am a bit nervous my total is so big but I am currently doing summer school (not paid till september) plus I am teaching next week too, and then its the dreaded e bay....................If I had a pound for every time I moaned about e bay I wouldn't be in debt!!
