    Hi muppets and the other 130+ people on here, I'd really like to join in with this challenge if that's ok? I managed to save up £750 last year but I'd like to make that up to £3,000 by this Christmas to pay off a chunk of debt.

    I think it will be a challenge but with a little focus and support I might be able to do it :)

    Morning all,

    #006 checking in with £907.00/£10000 please muppets :)
    Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭
  • #68 here - please can I start again as I've totally messed up the way I'm adding up payments etc - my apologies!

    Can my new total to aim for this year be £6136.40. I'm going to post my payments at the end of each month to avoid confusion. So for now I'll go back to £0 paid off and will update on 31st Jan.

    Thanking you in advance!
