    Think the boxes refers to spreadsheets ie each box is worth for example £50, therefore everytime someone pays £50 they colour in one box to keep track of how much has been paid - correct me if im wrong!

    Spot on Flower...I can't think about paying off £3000 so I just aim to pay of £50 and then another £50 etc. Makes it managable!

    Mudbath - I took your idea, and changed it slightly - I made a spreadsheet last night with 34808 boxes :D = my total debt last night!

    I fill one in for each pound I pay back. Trouble is, I have to view it on 50% view, and even then I can't fit the damn thing on the screen! :rolleyes: xx

    No problem - I laughed a lot after finishing it!! It's virtually unusable due to it's enormous size. Just like my credit cards. :wink:

    £20.25 to Virgin for me today.

    All this talk of giving things up for Lent has inspired me - I have decided to give up crisps for Lent. Believe me, this will be really hard!

    Hopefully it will help me lose some weight, as I really really need to!

    By the way, I have boxes too (Thanks for the idea Hypno!). Mine are £50 each (well, actually the very last one is actually £30, but the rest are all £50) and the total represents how much my total non-mortgage debt was at its highest. I have now coloured in 168 boxes (since August 2006) - only another 667 to go!

    Thevinternet - that made me laugh! At least you won't spend anymore money on your credit cards - you'd have to do a new spread sheet!!

    Pigginskint - Hypno should have patented the boxes idea....she's have made a mint! xx
