    Hi Michelle

    WOW!! So many new recruits!!

    Finally decided which debt to tackle this time - hubbys car loan!! It can only be paid with a lump sum so I am going to save what I can in my redundant ISA account. £3000 needed to clear it. Don't think I'll manage this in 100 days but anything is better than nothing towards it!!

    I will update my signature accordingly.

    Good luck Everyone!!

    DH was convinced it was 1st Sept today :eek:

    I'm keeping my target as it is but changing where it is going - I was going to save up towards a loan that can only be cleared in one go, but have decided to put the money towards a debt where once it is paid I can't "borrow" it back again. This would then be a good chunk cleared, and if we do challenge 5 would be gone for good!

    Good luck all for tomorrow!

    Morning all. I have been reading from the start and I did the 1st challenge, but would like to join in for this one to keep me focused.

    My target is going to be £1650 which is made up of bits I need to save for my wedding next year, a small credit card balance, a couple of passports I need to get, you get the idea.

    I'm going to do this by ebaying, MS, surveys, extras from our wages etc etc

    Can't wait until tomorrow now.
