I've just missed out on this, thought we could have had a Magnificant 7 but LJD1 needs to be in really, she was there before me.
Unless you want an "Exclusive Eight" ??
No....LA....stop, this will get out of hand and keep escalating. I will join in unofficially too and read the thread!
Good luck you guys!
Why don't we start a new one every month?
this one can be the August challenge.
You could be top of the list for the September list?
And maybe we could look at ways to include debts of different sizes? like working out what percentage you had cleared rather that amount?All comments and advice given is my own opinion and does not represent the views or advice of any debt advice organisation.

Nooooo! I want to join! I have my egg card of just under £1000 to clear, AND £1077 to clear from my barclays overdraft before the interest free period expires! I think I'd do the barclays one. Maybe I'll just lurk and secretly join in! Wicked idea em.

Sure thing! I would like to be included if another one is set up then.
Not sure about the percentage thing cos I am pretty poor at maths but...very happy to see the total start to tumble! Tumbling totals! Got a certain ring to it.
Anyway I will stop hijacking Emily's thread now and again wish everyone the best of luck!! Brilliant idea Ems. xxBank Balance: In the black for the moment.

Emily - can you let LJD1 join? Lucky SEVEN and all that!
Hmm - I don't like odd numbers so LJD1 can join and LookingAhead why don't you join in too?
The more the merrier
We can all put our money making ideas together and clear our debts that much quicker
Welcome aboard :j0 -
Sorry Mirtos, I've only just seen your post.
How about having 10 people in the challenge? That's a nice round number and with Mirtos that makes 9 so 1 other person can join.
How would that be?
I think we would have to stop at 10 though or we could go on forever0 -
Aw thank you! I'm so excited now, this is just what I need. I'm off to find all those accounts that might have a few pounds in. Good luck all!January budget
