    The crazy clothes challenge has done wonders for curbing my charity shop spending addiction :D

    And those more resolute than me still have not broken into their £100 budget! I live merely in their shadow. :D

    Payment a Day! Sooooo helpful in getting those debts down :)

    I also like the 365 quid in 365 days challenge. Good way of saving for Christmas!

  • Thanks guys. Any notable achievements on any of these challenges? I know you all do fantastically but some examples would be great. :T
  • I like best coin forward... save the highest value coin from your purse every day.

    I had success last year with the no buying toiletries until you've used up what you have... starting from January the only thing I had to buy all year was shampoo, and that wasn't until November :eek:

    Well, I think PAD paying off nearly half a £ million in 2009 is a pretty big one. :)

  • I like EagerLearners -Daily clicks
    Technically not a challange
    but I set myself a target of earning £700 this year,
    I had a payment into my bank
    earning me this year so far, £260.87

    It's a good way to earn some extra free cash
    it takes a about 6 months of work doing the clicks to start getting payments


    If people did PAD and clicks together would be interesting to see the results:A:T:T

    Following on from Fermi's comments:

    I completely changed my situation thanks to Payment a Day. I went from barely being able to meet the minimum payments before June 09, to having paid off around 4k since then!

    Everytime I want to buy something, I just think about PADding it. It also encourages me to try and make extra money so that I can it too! lol

    We have a few members who have stuck around after clearing their debts as they now PAD to savings instead. :D
