    If it's not too late I'd love to join. I've got £26,900 in credit card debt so my 1% is £270.

    I won't be able to continue to pay down our debt at the same rate I've managed so far this year so I feel I need a new challenge to stop me getting demotivated. Seeing it in 1% steps will definitely help :)

    Hi Lifebegins,

    Hi all,
    I've finally got round to updating the members list. Sorry it's taken so long.
    Well done on all the 1% payments being made. It's amazing to think the amount of money we have all paid off debts as a group so far this year. Keep up the good work :)


    My payment today has taken me to 50% paid.

    Number 20 reporting in with 25%. I know I should be happy I'm at 25% but still feel like it's so long before I reach the end :-(
