Whoops a daisy I thought I posted my amounts but I must not have pressed submit! So I had a look at the bank statements and since joining the challenge I’ve paid £91.58.
I was a little down hearted to discover it was just over 1% but slow and steady wins the race!Virgin Money £0/£1445
TSB £0/£659.53
BOM £0/£1480

Hi. I am new to this but I would love to be added. I have been reading the forums for inspiration and I have struggled with debt for years. However in Feb 2017 I turned over a new leaf and have managed to clear the majority but need a final push. I am working towards being debt free by Xmas 2018. I would like to add my debt of £2494 please. Many thanksWhen life throws you a curveball, learn to catch it and throw it back! Feb Grocery Challenge/£1000

Just paid off my first £200 but will be making more payments tomorrow when I get paid.
I’ve decided not to count the interest as think that will get confusing and so I’m just aiming to make payments totalling £10,000 during the next year and then I will look again at my debt and start again next year. Obviously I will look at my debt during this year too but I think if I add the interest back on it will demotivate me a little.
I’ve just applied to transfer my highest interest credit card to the 29 month 0% card I’ve got accepted to and then when I get the card I will transfer as much as I can from my other credit card and concentrate paying the ones with interest first and just make minimum payments on the 0% interest card.0 -

Can I be a pain in the rear end and change mine to £3,000 instead of £2,000??
I've just been decluttering and clearing out my clothes etc and it seems that after losing some weight I need to replace some stuff lol.. Not a chance I'll be spending £500 to replace them, however I'd rather have a target that's more than my debt to give me that push to keep going.

Hi all, I'd like to join in with this please to hold myself accountable.
My current debt stands at £1,165.
It was just over £2,000 in June so I'm happy with my progress, I should be under £1,000 in the next week or so.0 -
