  • Well both my credit cards have a high limit...I think I am a good customer (eeek)...either that or it is because I have a mortgage...

  • I had a Christmas bonus last week :) and a tax rebate :):) so I've cwtched £100 towards my challenge total ...haven't paid it as I would like to keep my debts on 0% lol,

    Am going to try & keep my spending to a minimum so anything I've got left over of my December pay will be cwtched away as well.


    So in addition to my normal payment of £105 I'm declaring £205 for December making a total of £215.

    Well done Amara if you can't beat your own drum who will??

    As for promoting this challenge, the only thing I would say (reading some of these posts) is that perhaps people are put off by thinking they have to pay of a debt literally in 100 days? Personally I see it as helping me focus my mind on a debt ....if I don't pay of a debt in the 100 days then so what for 100 days I'm throwing everything at a particular debt rather than using a scatter gun approach.


    Have a good Christmas and remember 2016 is one year nearer to us clearing those debts

    Gettingtheresometime, you're almost halfway there.
    I've started my challenge, I've paid off £100 :).
    I'll wait until New Year, I don't think many people will try to pay off their debts just befor Christmas... and Boxing Day sales.
  • Payday tomorrow. It will all be moved to savings account until the end of the month or it may go and leave me stuck for January. I stupidly made this mistake when I was young....never again. I will have to make a payment though. I can't wait to pay off a bit more.

    Well done on the badge Amara. I actually only found out what they meant yesterday.
