  • Hi, could I join please? I'm aiming for £1000 to knock a month off my debt free date, so my 1% is £10.

    Thank you and good luck with the challenge everyone.

  • Number 3 here. Thank you for the number - i feel like I am on my way. I will wait for the minimum payments to come out and then review the extra I am going to pay. Feels good to have a plan.
    Can anyone tell me how to colour text in? Thanks

    To colour text in write [ COLOR ="Red"][ /COLOR ] around the bit you want a different colour (remove the spaces before and after the word COLOR). E.g [ COLOR="Red"]£4[/COLOR ]. If you want it bold as well, it's [ B][ COLOR="Red"]£4[/COLOR ][/B ]. Again remove the spaces. Hope that helps :).

    Morning all, I'm at 5% today, made up of small overpayments on cards and adding a bit to the savings accounts.

    Hi Sky_,
    Welcome to the 1% challenge. I've assigned you number 29. If you could mention your number when checking in that'd be great. Good luck with your 1%s. If you could let me know what your 1% figure is I'll update the first page - thanks.
