    Adventurewanted could you add me to the list? Am paying enough off the CC to clea it before the 0% rate runs out, but I would like to get rid sooner if possible! Just tidied my budget envelopes and found a 1% which for me is £21. So 1% now completed :)

    Hi GlendaSugarbean,
    Welcome to the 1% challenge. I've assigned you number 57. If you could mention your number when checking in that'd be great. Good luck with your 1%s.

    #1 checking in - Now up to 70%. I've started the dreaded decluttering, so hopefully will have some extra cash coming in soon to get me closer to my target. Once I've completed my debt repayments target I might change my 1% figure to the remaining debt balance (although will see, as it might be too scary!)

    Number 58 here - I am declaring 1.8% towards my target. This has been made up of complaining and receiving a postage refund, growing my own lettuce from plants given to me from my friend, Etsy earnings from things I have made, a free dinner at my sons soon be to high school and cancelling an insurance on our fridge I didn't realise we had.

    Thanks for letting me join in. This challenge is going to be great to help me keep focus :)
