Please could I join in? My personal circumstances have undergone massive changes over the past year, and whilst I'm not fully sorted out I do want to minimise the impact. I'm aiming to pay off £5750 of debt as a minimum this year so my 1% will be £57.50.
Thanks

Hi may I join please? I’ve never done this but want to pay off my loan in 2019.
My 1% for 2019 is £26 which is totally doable when it’s put like this. I’ve got thisIf I can choose a number please can I have 71 because 7+1=8 which is my lucky number
Hi Destinygamer,
Welcome to the 1% challenge. I've assigned you number 12. If you could mention your number when checking in that'd be great. Good luck with your 1%s.
As there aren't as many signed up for the challenge as yet this year, I've redone the list removing those who aren't continuing with the challenge. I hope you don't mind me giving you number 12 - my logic behind this choice is that 10-2=8, so I was hoping it'd be a good choice.

Well done on getting off the mark so quickly. I agree about January being a slow month.
Im slowly getting towards my first 1%. I'm making daily payments to the CC, mainly rounding down the bank account, but should be getting some cashback paid later this month which will help a bit.LBM Aug 2017.
