500 days til the Olympics!

I saw this headline this morning and thought there must be a challenge we can do in conjunction with the big count down! Only problem is in my tired lack of imagination I can't think of what!!!

Any ideas...?

I'm thinking maybe a pound a day or clear a debt by Jully 2011? Or maybe do one thing a day to help clear debt, even just smeall things.

Maybe we could write a list of 500 things we could do, or suggestions that might help clearing our debts?

What does veryone think?

    Debt free by the Olympics? Sounds like a plan, unless you are going to the Olympics, which can set you back from the price of the tickets!!!!

    Tell me about it!! 80k seats in the stadium at £2012 a ticket for opening ceremony alone = Almost £161M. Think we will get a tax refund?

    What about a 500 day olympic debt advice. Sort of like a advent calendar with a piece of debt advice each day?
