  • Yippeeee. Had to work today and found out that I've had a tiny pay rise. Only about £1.70 per day before tax, which doesn't even cover inflation but then we haven't got an inflation linked pay adjustment since 2003!!!! So this is better than nothing and I shall use it for this challenge.

    January is already looking up. Hm this might turn out to be a good year:j
    Debt: Absolutely Mega (six figures) :shocked:

    I think this might be a very good challenge for me to join as I hope to pay off the credit cards this year on witch I owe a total of £7750

    Will you be up to 100 people yet?

    Have paid off so far £12.57. I'm just hoping I don't add back what I pay off as tends to happen when I run out of money and then some large bill appears.

    so £12.57 / £7750

    Thanks for starting a good challenge :T

    Hi
    I would like to join in if that's ok. I have a loan where my last payment will be January 2012. However in addition to that I would love to clear £6500.
    I am hoping to sell on ebay and amazon and use quidco whenever possible when I have to purchase things.
