    Hello all. This is something I’m thinking about doing but I have a relatively small 0% debt to pay off first.
    I hope to start with £100 a month and then once the other debt is done, add those payment to it.
    Will keep it low initially with a target of £1200 for 2020.

    Now to sit down with hubby and see exactly what we have outstanding and how we can increase the OPs.
    Welcome to the challenge, great to have you on board! You're our #92 :)

    Hi Julicorn
    Thank you for allocating me again this year. If possible can I have a lower number if not I am happy to stay with what has been allocated.
    Thank you.

    Hi lindez, I don't have anything lower available at the moment, because I'm still waiting to see if people want to keep last year's numbers. On the first of January, all the unclaimed numbers will become available though, so if you post again then I'm sure I can give you a lower number.

    Hey Julicorn,
    #May I sign up again please? Currently #109 but happy to move up if easier :) May I please set a starting figure of £3,000. This is going to be a big ask, but I figure worth having something to aim for!! As a sid aim I would really love to be in the 170's by the end of next year, even if it's just £179,999,99!!

    Thanks :)

    Welcome to the challenge, you're our #100 :) Could you let me know what you'd like me to track, your total payment (looks like that would be £18,000) or your overpayments (if so, could you let me know the amount)? Most of us find it easiest to log the overpayments, but either is fine :)
