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? Thanks0 -

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.
