    More than I expected in OH wages this week so I have managed to pay the remainder and a bit more besides so I have completed the challenge.

    I am going to continue to pay to this cc until the end of the challenge to see how much extra I can get off it.

    So my new total is £508.81 / £500 :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Hi everyone

    I set myself 3 challenges for the life of this challenge and yesterday I completed the third.

    CC1 £1923.07 PAID
    CC2 £625 PAID (interest accruing part of the balance, still £1900 left)
    CAT £453 PAID

    That's £3,001.07 paid in total since I began this challenge on 14 January :A. Thank you everyone for all your motivation, now I retire from this challenge though I will continue to pay CC2 balance.

    Good luck everyone :T

    Hi all, £216.99/£869.99 for me, I could do better but I am trying to get my overdraft down as much as possible before they review it in May, I have a feeling they may say they want to cancel the facility :(
    The 1% Challenge #76 - Debt 1 = £620 - 1% = £6.20 - 4.3%
    Debt 2 = £1600- 1% = £16 - 0%
    Debt 3 = £1012 - 1% = £10.12 0%
    Pay all your debt by Xmas 2016 #130- £465.86/£7636.46 - 6.1 %
    Make £10 a day ~ Jan £182.49, Feb £373.65

    Paid some more to this cc today so I am now at £514.17 / £500

    I will keep paying to this even though I have reached my original target as I do not want to risk stopping and then not starting again :rotfl:

    It's not going well! Only €50/€1450 saved. There's not a spare penny to be had. Between school trips, football boots, swimming lessons, birthdays, there isn't a spare penny. but I'll keep trying!
