    I had some success with this challenge long ago and would be up for the next challenge if there is one. I have two small debts, one medium and one large. If I could attack one of the debts it would be a fab start.

    Hi all,


    I don't often visit the website but I like to dip in every now and then to keep motivated :)


    I have a credit card debt with £388.28 left.:T I started out with £1044 and can't believe it's 'only' a few hundred left :j.


    I'm looking forward to clearing this is in the next 100 days. Then there's only another £2700 left to go before I'm fully debt free :(.


    Anyhoo, have a lovely weekend all :beer:

    Well I tried with this challenge but life got in the way:D


    Tried to make additional payment but lets just say Sainsb worse online credit card site ever. Will give up for the time being as I can't tell whether the payment has gone through - until it hits by bank =- Thursday. So without that


    My totals for this challenge are £1234/£1700



    Must do better on next challenge :money:



    Thanks Amara for running these challenges, they all help so much see you in the next one.

    Morning all,

    Managed to sneak in a final payment of £40 taking my end total to £830/ £1840.
    Its nowhere near the target but its better than nothing! Given its summer holidays and we have had 10 birthdays over the last 2 months its not too bad I suppose.

    Looking forward to the next challenge and thanks for organising Amara :T

    Hi everyone! I suggested 12.08 to start new challenge, but things were busy. What about 27.08.19, after Bank Holiday Monday? That'd finish on 5.12.19, just in time for Christmas.

  • I hastily checked this before being away with work again in case I'd missed it! 27th sounds great, though how on earth does that then take us to December?? Madness! I'll be away but gives me time to check my figures :)
