  • We've been waiting for January to end for so long, it almost doesn't seem believable it's here!

    We had a really amazing first month - so far a total of 147 members (welcome everyone!) aiming to pay off a whopping £1,180,176.10 between us! What's even more impressive is that in January, we managed to pay:

    £117,792.41

    This means we are 9.98% of the way to being debt free as a group. Not bad for the skintest month of the year :p

    Well done everyone - keep up the good work :j:j:j

    That is an amazing total and thank you sooo much for running this thread. :A


    I was in the supermarket yesterday getting some food and I kept putting things in my trolley then pulling them out because I didn't really need to buy them this week - it's all down to this thread.:D I have halved my monthly spending.


    What a long month January was. I've just been paid so reporting some payments totalling £1,149.64.:) Good luck everyone for February.
