Hello Ladies! How's everyone doing? Doodledoo, I'm the same this month - just made a minmal payment as I've got too many outgoings in April. I've also noticed that I'm lagging behind compared to the rest of you, so shall join in the £10 a day challenge (after achieving zilch in March
).

Evening Ladies good to see you all on line
I think a few of us are just doing minimum payments months lately. I don't feel like I have done much drastic really since Xmas. So I have joined the £10 a day challenge for April. Haven't actually achieved one before so maybe April is my time.
I have a lot of bits sorted to sell on Ebay that I am finding as I clear the house for selling so I have no excuse really.
CMD - I have been looking at your pics on FB, I feel like part of your social life lol
