    I think the 3rd star was round about 750. There is a post somewhere about it, but i couldn't tell you where? Someone else might know.

    ... and along with some coppers my lovely mum gave me ...

    Don't you just love mums and dads?! :j

    My eldest will no longer be eligible for a bus pass when he goes back to 6th form and he asked me if he could have an annual pass!!!! I told him I had £500 in savings as I was nursing the washer along and then my dad said he'd buy me a new one before it completely broke...and also pay for the bus pass...I love my dad :D

    Anyway, just popped on here to see how everyone has done...nothing to report myself but got a payment due from Quidco at the end of the month so I'll be able to report that when it lands.

    Well done everyone!!! :beer:

    i need to find another £350 + £51 interest this month so that i can achieve my target.

    i have just requested a withdrawal of £200 from a savings account i had so will pay that over as soon as it hit's my current account.

    still another £200 to find this month. i do have it but i am worried about leaving myself short until payday which is a few weeks off yet. will see what i have left after next weekend and try to pay the rest off.

    i am determined to pay off this debt as i am pregnant and don't want credit card debts to hold me back when my baby arrives - it's good motiviation!!!

    Hello All

    I haven't been on for a while and to be honest have had a number of huge payments this month.

    So far I have managed to pay off £110/1000.

    I have worked out I need to pay £12.19 per day from now on to complete the challenge, and I'm determined to do this challenge. I actually have a couple of debts lumped together on this challenge and one only has £123.77 left to pay, so I'm going to focus on that one initially and then hit the bigger one. I guess every little we pay off makes a difference.

    Keep going everyone.
