    £94 just came off my egg card but I can't remember if I included that already in my total. Will have to trawl back through a few pages...

    A whole £4 has come off my debt today......I got a "welcome back" bonus for an online casino thing - played it through and ended up with a massive £4......but, it is £4 off the debt that otherwise wouldn't have happened, so it is free money after all!!

    I'm such a ridiculous spendy wendy that I've not been able to pay anything off my debt yet this month - in fact, I've had to dip into my savings to prevent me adding to it! I'm such an idiot. :(

    As usual, clothes have been my biggest down-fall. I got caught in the moment looking through the ASOS sale.....

    I think I might give my cards to someone else, and get them to just give me £20 a week spending money or something. Actually, that's an idea I might explore.

    Keep it up you lot, your good ways counteract my stupid ones ;)

  • Got my charges back from Capital One today (the ones they didn't add up properly!). I'm past 2/3rds repaid since my LBM now. Feels so much more manageable, even more so as my 2 loans finish at the end of this yr.

    Naughty batfink!

    None of my business but if you've got savings, wouldnt you be better off putting them towards the debt?

    Enjoy the clothes...
