Hi all,
We're doing a note in the weekly email of all the fantastic challenges you do on this board to help motivate others. So I'd like to know which you think are the best or if there are any where a mass stream of people wouldn't be good!
Thanks & keep up the good work

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

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

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!February wins: Theatre tickets0 -

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:0 -

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:TPROUD TO BE DEALING WITH MY DEBT NERD #869

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.
