    I’m hope I’ve waffled enough to be accepted to here and I feel sufficiently motivated having seen how well everyone else is progressing with this challenge.


    Hello, Welcome to the challenge! This is a great challenge because there's no 'have to' amounts to pay or targets to think about, just paying something...anything extra every week. It all adds up.

    Hope x

    £41.74 paid off the CC this week - can't believe I found some money lurking in an old bank account!:D not so long ago, that would have been an excuse for a takeaway - not any more :D

  • Afternoon all! Welcome to the newbies :D.

    Suziebabe, well done for being restrained :T.

    Andrewbro that's a fab achievement, well done :j.

    Bit late with my Friday payment, but just sent £25 to B@rcl@yc@rd to make the balance £550 on there. Will struggle to clear that to zero in the next 6 weeks before the 0% runs out, but will give it a good go!!

    Oops - I've missed a week and only have a small £5.30 as my extra payment this week. I promise to try harder when the house purchase goes through :o
