    £10 for me today, made up of £5 in banked coins from my copper jar and another £5 from my bank balance. Every little helps!

    Hello all, a very long time no see. The last couple of months have been a bit mad here, including a fab trip to Glastonbury festival that put on hold my repayments to cover wellies and waterproofs.

    Back on the wagon again, and realise that in the last couple of months I've overpaid 123.86 that I've not declared!

    Nice to see how everyone is getting on, and the new starters - good luck!

    In the very essence of money saving I realised that I need to move £10 out of my account that I would normally pay to MIL for dog sitting once a week, we haven't needed her so instead of letting it be absorbed I will move it! Another £10 to overpay!

    Enjoying all this!

    £30 over payment from me and may do another £7 or so to round my debt down to a rounder number :)

    Hi All, I'd like to join this challenge if possible.
    I am saving for our wedding next year, so can't make huge over payments to my debt, so i think this 'little and often' idea will still allow me to chip away at it while saving.
    Thanks and good luck to you all.
    :)
    Saving for 2015 Wedding, aiming for £3000 by December 2014.
    This month: £350
    Total: £850 / £3000....£2150 To go! :j

    Debt Total: £12063:eek:

    Welcome Victoria! You'll find it amazing how much 'little and often' adds up to.

    Congratulations on the wedding Xx

    Welcome Victoria, Im still a newbie but this has been really exciting and every little will help!

    I have now put away an extra £3.49 after a bank skim! I have also got a running total of £8.05 on onepoll, little bit closer to the elusive £40!

    Happy saving!
