    Can I join too? My major one is my HBOS OD £4000. Paid £50 today. I'd love it if I could reduce the OD to £3300 by April. Really really hard, but something to aim for.

    Thanks guys, you're great.
    £38,000 and change to £0

    Ooooh I've been waiting for this to start!! Can you add me to the list please? I would like to repay £1000 that I borrowed from my Gran - feel bad borrowing from an old aged pensioner so want to pay it back asap!

    I've actually paid £50 back from my November wages, so have £950 outstanding.

    Looking forward to giving/getting motivation from this thread....

    Hi

    I've been waiting for part 2 as I had a 'debt' in mind. I'm going away for a weekend in Paris in May with my Mum and need to pay the balance and save spending money for it.

    I need £200 plus spends of another £200 (which I hope will be more than enough) so that works out at £4 a day. I'll be saving £2 coins but as I don't spend much I won't get many so I'll also save any £1 coins I get that I can afford to put in my tin.

    Good luck everyone with the challenge!

    Can I join in please? Think I will pay it off my Tesco CC - £2200 ish! But will go for £1 a day on top of minimum payment of £45 pm. I know it's not much but I don't have much disposable income and already do loads o save money - it'll all be from decluttering my home! :)
