  • Hi there,

    This is probably a long shot but can you put me down for £3000+ I am aiming to clear the credit card this year.

    Thanks,

    I've paid another £500 today. That's just out of my reorganising, so there'll be a bit more of that before the end of the month.

    Jail that's a mighty fine start, congrats ur an inspiration and deserve a big well done for starting this thread :)

    Jwil good to know you're local :D we're a friendly supportive type down here.

    Hope snow doesn't affect everyone too much and put us off our debt busting!

    Those who are building savings as their challenge ..any ideas as to what to do with it? Separate account so can easily see progress? What do people find as the best motivator?

    Best of luck to all!:T

    Thanks Lou, it's not technically an overpayment, as it is all part of a reorganisation, but it is a reduction in the amount of debt in my siggie, so it counts!

    Thanks for joining in with me, it's nice to have the company :) Hopefully we can all spur each other on to get to our targets.
