    Do you do well with your surveys? I do them but seem to always get pushed out and never seem to get to complete many.

    NUMBER 7 checking in I now have £70 towards my £110. I feel a bit defeated as I'm still £30 off my first 1% and this was supposed to motivate me I don't think I'm trying hard enough so I'm going to do a budget planner tonight - help. Well done all you proper debt buster people.

    I do onepoll and panelbase and have an account with swagbucks but always forget to log onto that one. Haven't heard of the others though.

    Hi
    I had my LBM at the Easter weekend and have managed to pay a good chunk the last week or so ...if possible can I please join ?

    I love the idea of breaking it down into 1% chunks ...
    my original debt at Easter was £19843.54... 1% of this would be £200 ... I'm up to 4% and only another £95 to my next 1% ...

    I have been ebaying like crazy and have more listed to start this week and a couple ending tomorrow ... fingers crossed lol

    Thank a million guys

    Hi. Am I too late to join please?

    Debts ate pretty much 15k so my 1%is £150.

    I have plenty of things for eBay and selling sites atm.

    I will get a jar to put the physical cash in and round down my bank once a week. Anything left by payday will be moved out too.

    Hi Henna123
    Welcome to the 1% challenge. I've assigned you number 49. If you could mention your number when checking in that'd be great. Good luck with your 1%s.
