  • Hi everyone,

    Can I please join in? I actually did a bit of this challenge last year but had to give up as I found out I was expecting a baby and needed a chunk of money to fix stuff around my house.

    I’ve done most the major work now (re-wiring, new bathroom and installed central heating) and now just need to do some re-decorating which I figure can be done gradually whilst also paying down debt.

    As I’m on a dmp I’ve set up an online ISA to transfer money into which I’ll use to pay off a chunk of my debt when it takes my fancy!

    I made a start on this goal last week, transferring £1.84 which was a random rounding down of the balance on my current account.
    Extra Payment Every Week 2016 = £40.91

    1% Challenge = 1% / 100%
    Swagbucks 2016 = £74 Amazon Vouchers

    Hi, has been a few weeks since I've made an extra payment, as been away on holiday and then had my son's birthday and party to organise. Anyway, have paid an extra £75 today to make up for the lack of payments the last few weeks.
