  • havent read the last three pages because you girlies chat too much :rotfl: however i just want to say albertross i do agree with what you are saying. Its isnt much use saving in a pot if you can put it against your debt that is costing you 18%. This is the same if it is sat in a savings account earning 4%. I should agree with you as this is the first thing i say to people when i evaluate their soa. But i do think little chalenges like this are fun and if someone put into thier pot £4 a week yet pays off some debt at £100 per week i cant see a huge problem. But a solution could be saving for a month then count it and pay it off you debts and then keep a running total for december. But again this could spoil the fun of counting it all :rolleyes: swings and roundabaout i guess.

    anyways mummzy can you drop my aim to £100 please because i seem to be taking less cash out per week and thus having less money to put in my terr. Instead i seem to be skiming my accounts and pushing it all into my online savings account :cool:
