    I wouldn't mind but it hurt to make that 200 payment the other day LOL! I'm such a numpty! But like you say, the debt's coming down and that's the main thing.

    Clearly these challenges are having a very motivating effect on me!

    I've never noticed this challenge before today. What a great and simple idea.

    I would like to join in. I am not in debt apart from my mortgage. However, after doing my SOA the other week i found i only had about £5 per month leftover when all bills were paid, so i know it is essential to hammer the mortgage before rates go up again.

    My goal is to pay off £1500 from the mortgage balance in 100 days. I.e. i will look at the balance and try to remove £1500. I will benefit from 3 normal payments of £191.11, but it will also be gaining interest, so it will be around £1150 in total i think that i will need to find.

    My only current plan is keep spends low at home as i don't have a job. (SAHM). I have just started mystery shopping and really started hammering ebay in the past couple of weeks. I've never been to the post office as much ever.

    Hopefully you will have me on board, and i will be more motivated from seeing how you are all doing.

  • Hi PAP and Co :wave:

    Good luck everybody!

    Hi Pap,

    I would love to join part 3 of the challenge, the last two challenges have been great and have kept me motivated.

    Right I am aiming to pay off £4, 753, in the 100 days. This is made up of CC and overdraft.

    I am so excited and can't wait to the weekend to begin.

    Thanks
