    £1.55 paid. Tipped me to #18 @ 1.6%.

    Waiting for some bigish payouts, a bill refund, interest from a saving account, bank account interest and a quidco payment which would be another 4%.... hate waiting!

    For anyone interested: Worked out that if starting in jan on 0% then we need 8.33% per month to clear debt by the end of this year.

    Thanks AdventureWanted
    I love that my number is 7, lucky 7 and hopefully will encourage me to clear as many 1% as I can.
    Made my first payment on my card of the year and I always tried to pay a little bit extra when I got paid, so i have paid my first 1%.
    Now to find some ways to pay some more :D:D
    :jYou've got to be in it to win it!! Just believe to receive!! :j

  • Hi everyone

    Number 3 checking in. I have made a payment of £600/£15000 so 4% paid. Pleased with this as most of my payments will be the outcome of economising against our income. I follow a lot of the diaries and challenges and am always inspired by all the efforts of everyone so I am looking forward to this challenge.
