  • Newbie here! Could you add me in for £1300. Doesn't sound a lot, but I have to start paying back a £10,000 loan next summer and I want my smaller debts to be done with first.

    Thank you.

    Hi JWIL - can you make my total £9000 please? That will clear all debt and start mortgage overpayments.

    Yep, no worries :)

    Welcome to the challenge and the forums EdenMan, good to have you on board. There's no amount that's too small here, every pound counts :)

    Afternoon,
    I've made my first payment of the challenge. £143.47.

    I will post my amount in red at the end of each month, if that's okay. Then I can give you a monthly updated amount, once the interest has been added etc.

    Anyway, I'm very impressed with myself..hope everyone else is doing okay.

    Thanks for the updates guys.

    Just a small request - if you want your payment added to the front page, could you please also post a total paid so far.

    So, for example, if you've paid £10 today, and £100 total previously, then just pop a total in eg: paid £10 today, total paid now £110

    It just makes it much clearer for me, and stops any confusion (I am easily confused :o).

    Could I join in this challenge, with a goal of £8000

    £7873.87 of this is debt, and the extra will be put in my savings account.

    Have made a token payment of £1, so I am off the mark
    Pay off all my debts before Christmas 2015 #165.
