    I'd like to join please, if it's not too late?

    I would like to pay £4000 of my credit cards so 1% = £40.
    Total debt at LBM... £16,815.02 :eek:
  • Hi all, Long time no post from me but have been silently plugging away at the debt all year.

    Declaring No. 225 - 82% paid

    The last 18% I am hoping to get shot of by end of March 2014.

    Once that's gone I'll be concentrating on my Secured debt which is much larger.

    For anyone thinking about joining this challenge I'd heartily recommend it - I subscribe to a daily email update and always have a read in the morning before I get out of bed! Starts the day off with moneysaving determination!
  • Hi All,

    My new 1% is a much more managable £87.32 of my 100% of £8,731.92

    So come on pay day so I can get some of my percentages gone!
    :DDEBT FREE SINCE 25.07.14! :D
    Debt at Highest (November 2010) - circa £40k

    Have worked out that 1% is £45. I am hoping that I can get at least 10% within the next month with eb@y, f@cebook and other sales. Have 100 things ready to list will hopefully get most of them done tomorrow.
