OH and I are thinking of setting ourselves some challenges for next year, but there are so many to chose from! We wondered what your most successful one for 2009 had been and which you'll be doing again? It might help us figure out what to do!

Hi there :wave:
Most definitely Pay A Debt A Day - known as PAD and very very addictive! Just see my sig.....and I've only been padding since the beginning of September!
Love Sassers xCurrent debt and mortgage: £25, 820.35 Debt/Mortgage at start: £92,598 (27/09/2010)
DEBT FREE!0 -
Definitely PAD.
Last time I looked, it seemed as if they were going to get close to 1/2 £million paid off by the end of the year.:T:TFree/impartial debt advice: National Debtline | StepChange Debt Charity | Find your local CAB

The living on 4000 a year is amazing, and the payment a day is good too. I also do the sealed pot thing, that is handy.
Pap has recently started to run 1 debt v 100 days which has really focussed me the most to pay off my CC debt, plus the other give up XYZ for hundred days (cured me of magazines!)
Good luck with your challenges!

If you've got some stuff to sell, especially books, CDs, DVDs, and videos, try the Make £10 a Day Challenge.Debt Jan 2008: £45,566. *** June 2013: DEBT FREE! ***
Paid back just under £50,000 due to some interest added.
Dealt with my debt through a Step Change (CCCS) DMP.

the Make £10 a day challenge is just brilliant..you only need to look at my sig for that although there are folks who have done better than me. Also the No Spend Day Challenge is also good (NSD).0

I'm all about the PAD challenge
We have paid off £400,000 of collective debt this year so far! 0 -
Another vote for PAD here... a stealthy way of paying down debts. And the NSD challenge has been brilliant for me because its really made me think about spending BEFORE I spend rather than after
