    Hi all,

    Well i haven't managed to pay anything else off, just lack of money has taken its toll.

    So just popping in to say i haven't ran disappeared off the face of the earth. I'm still here and kicking.
    So instead i'm just going to try and carry on paying pennies onto the credit and see where i am in December.

    Just realised it won't belong this one ends.

    Michelle are planning on starting another as i'm really looking to getting my teeth into it.
    Don't know how you keep the thread going,but i for one really appreciate it. Cheers chick :T:T:T


    I WILL pay off one Halifax and one Natwest one off, even if it kills me.

    Right better shoot and make dinner. i'll catch up with the thread in a bit.

    Paid my last payment today of £172.57 which leaves £0 remaining :T.

    Many thanks for running the challenge and thank you to everyone who's contributed, it really motivated me. Looking forward to the next one :D.

    Good luck everyone xx

    Well Done xxx
  • Actually, i have changed my mind. I will run another one if people want me to, but i think it might be best to just record a daily total and let everyone keep track of what they have paid off. That will be more manageable to run.

    So, i would have post one with all the challengers and what they want to pay off. Then i could do post 2 with the daily total and overall total.

    Sound ok?

    Although we have over 100 challengers we have about 20% of those who have paid nothing off, and it is the keeping up of the spreadsheet and updating the post with our totals that take up the time and stop me doing my own money earning stuff.

    If someone could invent extra time in the day or remove my need for sleep then we'd probably be fine. :rotfl:
    I would like to see another challenge really want to work on my debts next year and another challenge would be a great help

    I think you've been an angel volunteering for this Michelle and have done brilliantally to update it. I realise it must be time consuming as its hard enough keeping on top of my own figures!

    I agree that it come be made simpler by keeping track of our own figures- I vote for whatever is easier :)

    paid £9.05 ~ £1075.22
    I can't be bothered updating this anymore

    Hi Michelle :wave:

    Only do a running total if you want to - even that sounds like hard work to keep up with! I'm up for putting my balances in my signature, or just updating every post on this thread with my total (ie even if I haven't paid anything else off and just popping in for the chat :D )

    Personally, I only make a payment once a month so when I pop back onto this thread to 'brag' ;) it has moved along so much that I tend to only read the last couple of pages and never refer to the second post anyway. :)

    PS: current total standing at £1200 paid ~ £1200 remaining... can easily pay £800 of that but gotta think about where that remaining £400 is coming from... Hmmm...

    Hi!
    £5 into piggy bank, again :)
  • I'll definitiely do another one then as there is demand for it and i haven't seen pap around for ages. It keeps me focussed as long as i get time myself to make money and meet my own challenges.

    Let's get christmas out the way first - maybe Monday the 10th of January to April 19th? Blast through the rest of the Winter with a purpose?
