    Now I'm going to work out my new daily payment figure because I'm that sad.

    Hi Amara....I know I've tried before but could I try again this time please? I am determined to do it this time....but being more realistic as to what I can achieve....I want to start with a VERY low figure of just £115....I don't earn a huge amount and so if I can clear this one old PayDay Loan completely then I'll be very happy.... :)


    Thanks... :)
  • Hi DreamerHelen

    I tried this challenge for the first time early on and was sucessful. I tried the challenge a few times on and off over the years after that but always failed, intact my debt got worse. Last time I didn't reach my target but made a big impact on it.

    What I'm trying to say badly is keep going. Whatever you pay off is a bonus and I think it really helps to focus on one debt specifically.

    Good luck with getting rid of that horrible pay day loan.

  • Thanks parsniphead.... :)


    I think in the past on these Challenges I've always set the bar too high....I don't earn a huge amount right now....and trying to clear £600 or £700 in 100 days just isn't going to work for me right now.....


    But if I can clear some of my smaller Debts by using this Challenge I'll be really happy....and yes, getting rid of that horrible PayDay Loan will be GREAT!! :)
  • Hi Amara

    I'd love to join the challenge please. I had started to get sorted with my money but after a huge vet bill and various other house issues I have racked up £1,091.61 of credit card debt on a high interest card. I really need to pay this off quickly and hopefully this challenge will help to keep me on the right track!

    Please can you put me down for £1,091.61?

    Thanks : )
