    I'm off the mark too - by £2.94 :rotfl:

    I started the challenge the day after I had pay over £1000 to debts so just making tiny payments the rest of this month by rounding off my current acount to the nearest £10 each time I log on.

    Looking forward to the end of the end so I can add something more substantial to the total!

    Keep at it everyone xx

    EDIT - Just added another £5 cos I was itching to make a payment :D

    hi hypno. can i join in this as well please or is it too late?? if not can you please sign me up for £12k please. this will clear our debts and should be doable however we are also saving for a deposit as we want to move (we live with my parents at the mo) so that makes it a bit more of a challenge for us.

    thanks

    Hi Hypno!

    Could you put me down for £10,000 please? I still have no idea how I'm going to raise that - but I'll give it my best shot! x
