  • Hi Pap

    This will be my first time on this challenge, so I'm going in at £100 which will be a sliver off my Egg CC, but at least it'll be over and above my normal repayments, and it all helps :D

    Thanks

  • Thanks Beanielou :)

    I was thinking about including my minimum payments too, but as they're set up on DD I decided to leave them run on as usual so that I can keep my eye on the 'new' target.

    The good thing about it though is that once the 100 days are up, my account balance will have reduced by well over the £100 target :D.

    Can't wait to get started. I'll be watching the thread with interest over the coming week to keep the excitement and motivation up :T.

    Hi again all :wave:

    Well done everyone in challenge two :T

    Thanks for doing a new challenge PaP :kisses3:

    I just missed the last one by a couple od quid but well happy with the result so thanks for inventing the challenge in the first place, has been really encouraging for me :)

    I would like to be brave and go for 300 off the dreaded Vanquis, I know it won't work out at that cos of the cripling interest but it will be a start :o

    Will be a struggle as this is my first month on my new lower pay :( and they have messed my tax code up too :( still I am trying to sort that this week but I need something to keep me going cos this is going to be a long month otherwise,


    Good luck everyone :j

    DFD Need to August 2027 :(

  • Can I join in on this one please? :)

    Going to start fairly small, but if it goes well I might up the target if I can.
    So will aim for £200, this will mean the end to rent arrears and sooner than planned :)
    S-i-d
    Still too much debt :(

    Oooh I'm glad I noticed this just in time :D

    I'm making a final push to get debt free. I should have my credit cards clear by the end of this month when I get paid. Next target is my student overdraft. Luckily it's still interest free but I'm desperate to get it clear before this changes. I have to pay off £1300 If I save like a demon I can do that by the time I get paid in August if not on the 8th. Sign me up :)
