    Fab idea, can I play?

    Could I go for £361 off my Barclaycard debt? It's too big to get rid of in 100 days but that will push me under the next thousand so HUGE psychological boost!

    Thanks!

    Got a bit lost in February but still keeping track of the challenge.
    I have cleared my John Lewis card completely but will be dumping an MBNA 0% onto it next week before I start paying interest on 10th March (Statement Date). JLP don't have any 0% deals but do have a 2% for 6 months by which time MBNA should be hassling me with 0% deals again
    I am now working on my Nationwide card (19.9%) and have been doing a bit of 2 steps forward and one step back in the last few weeks

    Original challenge debt £3839
    Paid to date £2225
    Amount remaining £1614

    BTW PAP I've paid £217 since my last update

    I have 2 paydays before the challenge ends - hoping I can make it

    UD
    Total debt at 01/01/2010 £34,262 (Excludes mega mortgage) Daily interest £12.42
    02/10 Now £3.12 due to repayments, BT and :money:
    Olympic challenge £5081/£28,000 (18.15%)
    Aim to lose 35 lbs from 01/01/2010 to 30/06/10 9.5/35
    1 debt in 100 days £2886/£3839
