Hi! #38 here!
I've actually made over £600 extra this year, but I'm resetting my target to try and be debt free by Christmas! New goal is £1838.55, so 1% is £18.38.
I haven't got a lot of stuff left to sell and my attempt at surveys are not going well so I'm not sure yet how I'm going to hit it...19/12/14: Spent 10 years of savings!!
:heart2: ..... to buy my first home. :heart2:

Right! Great start to my challenge refresh. I've just been paid the £53.04 I have been waiting for from webuybooks.
£53.04/1838.56, now at 2.8%!
I haven't got any more pending money so today the plan is to photo and list a few more bits on ebay and gumtree. I am toying with selling a computer console I don't use but was a big gift.... I also have old phones and mp3 players, a really old kindle. So I'm going to explore how to wipe memory and sell these.19/12/14: Spent 10 years of savings!!

Hi would love to join please.
My debt is £3297.37 so 1% is £33 please.
My 0% runs out in December 2019, my minimum repayment is 1%.
I!!!8217;ve calculated that I need to make 5% a month to be able to clear it by December 2019. That just £165 a month.
Seems doable to me
Hi ellie.52,
Welcome to the 1% challenge. I've assigned you number 62. If you could mention your number when checking in that'd be great. Good luck with your 1%s.LBM Aug 2017.
