Carmencita_2

:hello: I'd love to join you-have set 2008 as my year to pay off all my CC debt so need all the motivation I can get. Could I please go for Silver. I'd love to be buddied up-will pm you Gemmzie.

I have signed up for RPoints today and opened an Alliance and Leicester Premier Account through them because they have an interest free overdraft for a year - this should give me the 500 points for signing up and 2500 for opening the account, converting to £30 already, it's certainly a start!

I've also signed up to 'Retaileyes' and have arranged a mystery shopping event for 19th Jan but can only sign up for at the moment as I'm a newbee!

This is really motivating, thanks everyone!

Would anyone like a buddy for some company to complete this challenge??

Thanks again,
Becky

Hi, Please can you add me to your list - I would like to attempt Bronze (aim low, and I should not be disappointed)

Becky - great idea on the A&L a/c, I'll join you on that one if I may as my OD is currently 7.75! Cashback never hurts either ;-)

What's everyone's views on doubling the goals and counting the buddies as one challenger? Someone suggested it to me yesterday, I'm very undecided.

Although I love the idea of a buddy to help me, I'd rather be seen as a challenger in my own right. If my buddy as doing really well and I was doing not so well I'd feel really guilty; plus it would demotivate me as I think I'd be tempted to not put as much effort in if I knew I could fall back on someone else............if that makes sense

That was my initial worry, it could be more of a demotivator than a motivator for some
