    Just to check in that I have done nothing about the debt so far. Just not sure where to start Any extra money I get at the moment is keeping me in food and drink (not the alcoholic variety either)

    Hi everyone,

    Just paid off £512 of cards and smaller debts.

    I am so grateful for all the posts as it keeps me motivated and to stay on the wagon.

    My plan is to get rid of A & L card (have cut this up to tiny bits) by the end of the month as they have just jacked up my rate from 14.9% to 29.9%.

    Cheers

    I keep a savings pot that counts the money I put in and has an LCD display, I normally put all my loose change in their from my wallet and its currently around £48, when it gets to £50 I will cash it in and put it towards my debts, I have also been waiting a week or 2 for some money to clear from Quidco, how long have others waited for it to get to your bank?
