    I only need to find £99 to make it to 50% but it just is £99 I don't have right now :(

    Great payments everybody! One or two (like me) who have seen their debt total rise slightly - don't worry about it, there will be ups and downs this year, we just have to make sure there are more ups than downs :rotfl:

    Last year, March was a bumper month for some reason, so it's an ambitious target seeing as we had a bumper February. We're doing well though, the total is looking veeeeeeeeery healthy. Pay day edging closer and closer too... I can't wait to break this pay day cycle.
    Is it too late to start this challenge?? I can not clear my whole debt but would love to set myself a target of £3000.

    Of course not! You're number 160, and I've given you a £3k target. Welcome aboard.

    Sure? I can change it if you like...
  • No, no £3k is good thank you. Confused myself. I made my first payment of £8 the other day. Don't know if that counts but I did it so I'm at £8/3000. Yay. Cant actually wait until payday. That's a first.
