Chrimbo crackers countdown

Hey Folks

I'm signing up for Gold, I am aiming to clear my egg card by Christmas (currently £1500) and will be putting all my earnings towards paying that off. I'll be paying it off as I earn though to avoid too much interest!

Good luck everyone, now going to hunt down the back off the sofa so I can make a start!

Hope

ps. Thanks gwen

great idea - can I join for bronze please.

i wont actually start until Aug as I'm doing make £5 a day for july (not so sucessfully!!) so will concentrate on that till the end of the month then push for this.

If I can complete bronze into saving it would pay for christmas

More challengers, excellent! :j

I've just been watching a programme on iplayer called 'How to beat tough times' which has scared me :eek::eek:

My £5 from vodafone has tracked, which is good :beer: It all helps

Are people mainly using the extra money to pay off debts or for other things? I need to save up to pay for my holidays coming up. I don't intend to make either expensive, but I have a few days in Europe booked and a week in a cottage with family. Then I'll concentrate on paying off my credit card, then saving up for the house renovations I need to get done.

I'm wondering if going for a silver cracker is actually realistic as I have a busy few months ahead, but I'll leave it as that for the time being and if it looks totally unrealistic in a couple of months, I can think again.

Can you add £37.05 for me :jAmazon money transferred from this weeks sales. Mine will be going straight off my debt to help reduce interest although off on holiday on Friday so that could be all the money I make in the next 2 weeks

Hi All

Can I join please? Will aim for silver - brother gave me £200 he owed me the other day :beer: (was going to go for bronze but bro's cheque will boost it)

Hi All, had a right good rummage around the house and found £14.46 in "spare" money around the house. To be fair most of this was in a cash box that I had completely forgotten about last time I did a car boot sale. Does this count? I really hope so, it felt good that I have actually got started!!! There was 51p which my partner cheekily left by the bed this morning, claiming this was "for last night". I am assuming that he meant the cheese on toast I made him for supper!!!
