    £5 for me today leaves £1090

    determined to get it under £1000 by next week but I am going to struggle not really got any more cash for now that's not accounted for. I will try to shave something off this weeks grocery budget.

    Have a good Sunday everyone.

    I've been trying desperately for days to get surveys and dooyoo to payout with not a lot of luck so far. It will happen during the challenge so i will have to be happy with that.

    I have tried to be more proactive today and put 5 things on amazon and 5 on ebay. I know i've aimed high, but this has been the worst start to the challenge i have had so far.

    Council tax free months are Feb and March, so i will be able to put these two months payments to my target.

    Don't worry Cha97michelle, it's uneasy time for all of us. Next month you'll put something into :)

    Hi Everyone,

    I've not been on for a while and have just caught up on reading; everyone is doing really well! :T

    I love how people are chipping away at the debts with little payments here and there, that is something I need to start doing as even just a pound or two really adds up over time.

    Well, I made my monthly payment on the account today, plus a little extra... £35.81.
    That brings my total to... £273.05/£696.89

    Save £12k in 2021: Jan £1834.40, Feb £1692.81

    Hi Amara,

    Can I please join the challenge. Just got back back from hols and want to clear some outstanding debts.

    Have taxes coming up again so want to clear £2000 of that and other smaller debts of £2,500. Can you please put me down for £4,500.

    I am starting late but going to give it a go. I need to keep motivated and these challenges have kept me on the straight and narrow.

    BB
    Original debt at LBM July 2008, £47, 654.34. Debt at January 2016, £21,443. Barclaycard [STRIKE]£9,000[/STRIKE]£8,756, Tesco cc [STRIKE]£3000[/STRIKE]£1,136. Debenhams storecard [STRIKE]£350[/STRIKE]£263, OD [STRIKE]£3,500[/STRIKE] £3,000, Corp Tax £3,036, Study loan £1,750, Smaller debts £2,000.

    Since my LBM I have not been fully committed so now I have had a 2nd LBM.
    Aiming to be debt free by December 2016:D
