  • Sorry folks .... been having a think and not sure that this challenge is going to work for my OD :(

    Really like the idea of it - but there's no minimum payment and I won't (very often) be making additional payments to it - it's really just trying to make cuts and reduce it by not taking money out each month :(

    I love reading about the payments people are making but it's also making me a bit depressed as my total's not changing :o

    So .... thinking I may have to withdraw - or just hover in the background and post a total at the end of the year (but to me, that really defeats the object of a challenge as it's the support you get that spurs you on to succeed :T)

    Not sure if there's another challenge that's better suited to clearing an OD (much harder than clearing the c/cards!) so any suggestions welcome!:)

    I am going to update monthly, some people do theirs daily/weekly or monthly. The only thing I can suggest is splitting your OD into 12 'slices' and then aim each month to pay a slice off (does that make sense?) I am splitting my debt into 12 so I have mini targets. hope this helps a little.:)

    mmmm that's an idea trying hard ... will keep going for now :o thanks and will keep reading & try not to let it get me down!
