    Good luck with this. Thanks to Emily i've cleared more on my barclaycard than I would have. I wanted to be debt free by Christmas but I think it'll be much sooner now. It's definitely easier when you're in (friendly) competition.
    I'll read this with interest.
    January budget
    Nothing left!

  • Great!!!! Are You Looking At The Same Amount?? Should We Have Some Rules?? How Sad Im Very Excited!!
    if this is going to work rules need to be set to ensure it's fair - some people earn and are thus able to save alot more than others. others can do car boot sales whilst others have no access for transport so this not an option for them etc. not sure how you can and would make it fair.

    I'm in! Except in my case it'll be clear my overdraft plus £300.

    By the first of november I will have a positive balance of at least £300.
    [strike]-£20,000[/strike] 0!
  • Yep you certainly would!!

    If you go via quidco, you get £50 and then once you have an account you can print off a recommend a friend voucher, you both fill it in, and then you both get another £50!!!!

    Think of as many friends who have rubbish accounts, because actually the account is really good!! 0% overdraft for a year, if you pay in the minimum £500 per month, 0% credit card for 9 months. (going to tart my egg balance!!)

    I'm soooooooo excited right now, its such a weight off my shoulders to be sorting things out, slowly but surely I am saving money here and there, earning extra bits and bobs via Quidco, mystery shopping and selling Avon, and now I'm going to be saving on my interest by having this 0% overdraft, which will be fab!!

    They emailed me within minutes to tell me I had been accepted, I was on edge waiting for the email to arrive!!!!
