    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Give them a week or two into January as the cut-off. Those who have only missed a few days so far can add a bit of extra money in to make up for it
    Not been here in years! Hi everyone. Make £10 a day challenge = £78.45/155

    My son asked me to help him clean his car today as no one does it like me ( god he can grovel when he wants something. So I agreed as long as I could keep all the coins I found. He hates coins thinks they are worthless.

    Well I found £3.86 in shrapnel under the seats so I have added this to my teapot today.

    Maybe you could ask anyone who is seriously wanting to join to PM you before a FINAL!!!! date say for example 10th of this month and say no-one after that can join.It gives those last few stragglers a chance but also makes it a final date for joining.Just a suggestion :)

    I understand why you'd want there to be a deadline, otherwise it would drag on forever....but I only joined yesterday, and I keep a sealed pot anyway so if there is any room I'd love to join in!
    Debt at LBM July 2013: [STRIKE]£46,085.88[/STRIKE] :eek: Debt today: £36,501.67

    20.8% down, 79.2% to go!

    The quicker I'm debt free, the quicker I'll be Mrs. H! Date to beat: April 2018
