    Hi, I was wondering if this should be on the list of challenges as I would have missed it. What do you think inamin.

    It's a great challenge and may be a bit easier for some..... It is for me
  • Hi All,

    I have hopefully updated my signature now, if not I might need some help.

    I am thinking what I am going to do it every Friday check my currant account and then round up to the nearest £5/£10 depending how flush it is (Will def be one of these two amounts) and apply it to one the debts I have below, as I don't carry cash around with me through the week as there are no facilities at work only vending machines but I take everything I need to keep me going through the day.

    I can not wait to see the results of this :)

  • Hello fellow moneysavers!

    Made my first extra payment today - only £5.00 off the New Look Card bill :beer: but its a start! And it actually feels pretty good!!!

    When you think how much these little bits add up to over a whole year its going to make a real difference!

    Keep motivated everyone! We can do it!!! xxxxx :T
