£5 for me today leaves £1280. This is good for me as I am thinking about what I am spending as I am determined to get this paid off.

hi, another late starter here. please add me for Argos card with debt of £587.08. On 0% until June but I want to get rid of it much sooner than that. Will be difficult but I am going to go for it. I need to pay £6.05 per day to clear it.I'll get started tomorrow as waiting on a maintenance payment and hopefully will be in my account tomorrow . Good luck everyone. I love a challenge

I've managed to scrape £18.53 by finding loose change around the house and empting all my old savings accounts that only have pennies in them and not earning any interest and putting them into a higher interest account so that's me currently at £618.53/£2299

oooh and I should hopefully get £135 from fonebank in the next week and £3 from quidco! Roll on the pennies!

Hi all, rounded down my current account to make my first payment of £9.17 ~ £2641.83 remaining

Good news also that with a bit of luck I have sold my car which should give me £350 to put to the debt - the buyer has left a deposit and is coming back tomorrow, fingers crossed! That would be a fab boost for the challenge.

Well done everyone on a great start!

Evening everyone,

I've just paid £5 off my Next account, taking me up to £52/300!

Think I will struggle to pay any more for the next couple of weeks until payday, as I now have to pay £120 for the last installment of a school trip my daughter is going on, as well as my choir subscription £70 and my son's basketball and cubs (another £55 between them!) :eek:
The good news is that it is the first time in months that I have paid anything other than the minimum payment on my Next account, and this month, including what I had already paid before this challenge begun, I have paid off double the minimum! :j

Morning everyone

£10 for me this morning - normally when I resolve to pay off a debt on my own I have already given up by now, but this thread is helping me keep motivated

Payment today makes my total £51.00/£987.99

Same here! I suppose I also have the added motivation of DH having recently found that he is to be made redundant (we don't know when yet). It is great though having somewhere to record your progress among people that are in the same position and don't judge
