I still don't have a number but:

Lashie - 23%

I have managed this through some cashback from pet insurance policy, underspend on my grocery budget and a refund for a faulty item. I get paid tomorrow so will hopefully be able to rack up some more %'s and I also have some stuff to sell on ebay. Also waiting for cashback for switching my bank account to F&*st Direct worth 15%!

Happy percenting x

"23. Change - Look for cash on the ground. If out in a pub, notes are usually found by on the floor by the bar or by the fruit machines."

This worries me a lot. Advocating what could well amount to a criminal charge of theft isn't going to save you anything!

If you find a note on the floor, would you really just keep it?

neverdespairgirl - I would feel too guilty and would have to hand it in if I found something in private premises, especially notes and pound coins , however the odd shiny pence in the street attracts me like a magpie.

No 224 reporting another 5% = 65% PTD

I need to do some serious percenting now.

Hope everyone else is making their %'s

Update for this month. I am continuing to manage a repayment of 1% per month above accrued interest, and adding a little more to my savings pot too.

Hi - I'm Rebecca and having just read the above, thought you might like to hear about what happened to me just a few weeks ago. I live about 15-20 minutes away from my city centre and regularly walk in. Walking down one of the smaller streets, I noticed something on the pavement - namely a £10 note. There were some people standing close by it and I asked if it belonged to any of them, but they all said no. I then went into the local council office which is at the top of the street, asked there and was advised to keep it as unless somebody had memorised the number on the note or marked it in some way, it couldn't be proven that it belonged to that particular person - if that make sense? So, yes, I did keep it.

hi can i join please have a cc well have a few but first one to go currently has a balance of £2865 so 1%=£28.65 nice odd number just like me ,i have loads of junk to sell but lack motivation lol so this might just be the challenge for me ,this works though as other cc was nearer 10,000 and i have upped the payment from £150 to £300 and already its below the £9000 mark feels good to open that statement so now this one has to go .i'm actually tempted just to up the payment by the same as goes out at the moment,having seen how quickly the other amount is going down ,but think this way might make me think twice about opening my purse to other people ,as in shops ,banks ect .thanks for letting me join
