A sensible post, in blue to show it's sensible!
Finally got my A&L statement and I've cleared 138.33 during the last month, not bad at all considering I messed up my finances and left my self with nothing for the whole monthI really want to get rid of this card, however I still owe 2,741.00 on it. Target is to clear it by September 2009.
Received another 3.00 from Pinecone and 1.00 from scratch card just for logging in! plus the obligatory 10p of course!
Also paid 25.12 to A&L, this is the difference in minimum payments since I started stalking the balance on the card. I do this every month. So come what may, I don't pay the minimum payment on it anymore. Once January starts, I will really hit it hard, with selling on ebay and amazon.
As I'm at home I think I'll do a matched bet as well, I've got a little money sitting in those accounts at the moment.

Hi piq - I think I'd hang a picture of a 'pot of glue' in the stable as a 'covert' warning for your nag to start behaving. :rolleyes:
Good luck with the matched betting - I never got the hang of it, myself.I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

He'd probably eat it.....
I had to read the matched betting instructions so many times until I got it. Then I was afraid that I'd misunderstood something because it seemed so simple. I still worry that it is so simple, so I must be doing something wrong. But I do have about £50 each of three accounts :jTotal debt at October 2008: £67,213.30
