    oooooooooooooooh I am so definitely in on this one!!!

    I've got £100 on a credit card (whoops, thought I'd cleared all those!) and £100 on a store card....

    Would run down the street half naked in celebration if I managed this by September....

    Paid off £10 already :)

    Can i join please have a barclaycard visa bill for 510 i think roughly. Everyday i put £1 into a online svings account when doing my internet banking. The days i dnt have wine put £3 in everymonth this totals about £100 with approx £100 in change ie £2 coins, so i think i can do this.
    good luck everyone

    Hi

    I would love to join this too. I want to pay off my Alliance & Leicester Overdraft which at the moment stands at £225.00 and it would be great to be able to pay this off by the end of August as thats when the 0% interest runs out.... although i might have to borrow £225 off my family to pay my minimum payments on 2 of my credit cards so may use the challenge to pay this off.

    Good luck everyone

    That reminds me (thanks Frugaljo) I got a cheque last week for £25 from mutual points - it should be cleared by now - was going to just use it as spends - will use that to make a start!

    Anyone any good moneymaking ideas???

    Good luck all xx
