    I'm new to the website and think this challenge will be motivational for me.
    I've just recycled my old mobile, looking forward to receiving the payment and using it for this!

    i'm doing this as a kind of "round down" approach. Every week, I check my current account, and round it down to the nearest £5/£10 by transferring some to one of the credit cards. It makes a dent faster than you'd expect!

    Done for this week and updated totals in signature - Great end to the week!

    Just found 30 euros in a jar during a tidy up, so will be taking that to get it changed before it devalues even more, and pop it against the cards next week.

    This thread is so motivating, thanks everyone :)
