    Oh brilliant - I was just looking for a 100 day challenge and here it is :)

    Please can I join £1880 which is the balance on my Barclaycard. The 0% finishes at the end of March so my target date is to clear by then.

    Thanks for doing this - I joined this challenge a few years ago and it really spurred me on.

    Hi Amara
    My finances are in a poor situation at the moment and I really need to make some effort at tackling them.
    I need to pay off my fridge before the interest free period ends so I'm going to set my target at £553 for this challenge please.
    Thanks for running this again.

    I have tried this before and like SA a few years ago it worked, tho recently debt hasn't been a focus - but as we all know you look away and it grows!!

    So my current debt is 4980 and I would it to be 2000 pound less by April 16th.

    0/2000

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Morning all :)

    I know this challenge hasn't officially started yet but it's my payday today and I've paid £300 off the debt today.

    So £300/£1880 = £1580 :)
