I would like to join please. This is my favourite challenge and has kept me massively motivated in the past. I would like to tackle my smallest debt which is £1443.11 so my 1% is £14.43. I need to ring them tomorrow to sort out my log in details as I will pay each 1% off the card as I go. It is on 0% and not going to count the DD payments towards my % challenge for now. Won't officially start till the login is sorted. Debt is on 0% for over a year.
So excited!

I am unbelievably late the the party this year but can I join please? My debt hit its peak in June after a bout of bad luck. Since then I’ve been furiously chipping away at it- starting debt £14202, current debt £11914
That’s 16% paid off already!
I’ll update again for October in a few days

#1 checking in. Now at 86%. As we near the end of the year I am already thinking of my target for 2020. Not sure yet whether my %s will relate to the last of my debt or a savings target.LBM Aug 2017.
