    If it's not too late, can I join please?


    I paid off all my debts last month, so it's a saving rather than a debt, but I'd like to save £500 by the end of the challenge please.
    Debt free since December 2015. It can be done

    Hi Amara,

    I would like to join this challenge if it is not to late.

    I have a store card that I would like to aim pay off by the end of the challenge.

    It stands at £263 - whilst this is small it will get me motivated to attack my other debts when this is gone.

    BB
    Original debt at LBM July 2008, £47, 654.34. Debt at January 2016, £21,443. Barclaycard [STRIKE]£9,000[/STRIKE]£8,756, Tesco cc [STRIKE]£3000[/STRIKE]£1,136.

    Paid £30 today. Have a bad month in January so don't think I'll be able to make many payments.
