Well done Mrs Save! It's a really nice achievement to check off those boxes isn't it?

Definitely! This could become addictive. I can't wait to colour the next box in (all different colours to make it look nice of course!!).

Hi, can I join in too please?

My total debt is £1585 so I am rounding my 1% up to £16.

I am starting the challenge as of this week.

I am hoping to get some online surveys done, list some clothes up on eBay/Depop/Vinted and perhaps Facebook. I also found out today Tesco are boosting their clubcard vouchers so I am hoping to double the tiny £3 I have on mine to go towards a Christmas gift.

Hi there Guys and Gals,

#335 reporting in...I am at 8.4% now, my overtime came through and was hoping to pay more towards debts, but have a pooch that needs some dental work, so will have to see what's left after that to see what else I can pay off.

Hope all are well

Weldone guys, you're all doing so well and are such an inspiration! I'm just just about to get off the starting line as I've almost made my very first 1%. I've mainly done it through doing surveys, my favourite site is My Survey as the payout threshold is low so its rewarding . I'm beginning to learn about Swagbucks too but I really need to get my bum into gear and get some stuff up on eBay!

I have paid off another £2137 the long term loan as an overpayment this week taking me to 25% repaid. Getting there, still a long way to go however really pleased with how far I've come over the last year.

Head down to carry on with the overpayments for the year ahead! I've cut back as much as I can to get rid of all the extra payments for things I don't need and my bank account is all in order now with no unnecessary payments going out. About 2 more years to go I think and see how much interest I can save on the balance of the loan with these overpayments.

Tis slow going this time round, but at least it's still going, so am not complaining :-) Am at 7% today and got some things in pipeline, so hopefully more on the way :-)

That 7% came from morrisons vouchers and a £60 leccy refund. Been really trying not to waste and so dd was overpaying this quarter :-)

So, a week to the day I started this challenge and I have paid 1% off my debt! Yay, could not be happier and the feeling of making the extra payment is great.

The 1% came from change I'd accumulated over the week such as old money tins I had previously started but never finished.

I have cashed out two £5 rewards from My Survey that I have earned this week but still waiting for them to hit my bank so I'm not counting that just yet. I'm also testing the waters with eBay and have listed a couple of items.
