    Hi folks!
    I have to change my goal. My overdraft has grown and I want to clear it. £1400. I also need to rise £650 to pay for legal fees. So, new goal for me: £2050.
    You're great, keep going!
  • Hi everyone,
    Just a quick update

    An unexpected £250 paid in today 600/1000.

    I thought I better get it paid in and written on here so it doesn't get spent!!!!

    £150 over paid to loan today, starting to see its balance dropping due to this challenge. Love seeing how much interest I'm saving when I make the extra payment.

  • Hiya
    I have paid another £10 off the old next acc, so that is now £28 paid, even if I don't reach the full amount I will have a good chunk paid. Big thanks to all

    Hi! £120 from me.
  • Hello, can I pay please, bit late I know :) I also remember baby amara being born, although haven't been around for a while. Newsletter seems the best place to publicise to me if you can get in there, maybe before the next challenge go for a big push?

    Anyway, trying to work out the best way to do this, have been using my overdraft too much and also need to start saving which I wanted to do with the £10 a day. However as I can use non spends with this am going to say £700 "saved" in current account (overdraft paid and £200 buffer ) plus £500 in actual savings. ..

    Best ideas needed please :)
