    Yeh I saw, she was on like £46!!!

    i figured for the £150 target you need about £1 in change a day, so by now I should be on £36 so only just behind target!!!

    Good luck this week though. I will update tommorow evening

    One day I will get ahead of you Sarah lol. At least now you'r back at work you will get a bit more cash!

    Hi all,

    I didn't get a chance to have a count up last week, but my total for this week is £14.39 - this is proving harder than I thought it would as I'm trying not to spend anything - so the amount of change I'm getting it decreasing all the time :rolleyes:
    Debt at Highest: £11,630.10 (May 2006) Debt now: £0.00 !!!!
