    Hiya guys :hello:

    Right im getting a little bit demotivated again with me debt unfortunatley :(

    So to make it a little bit easier i thought i would break it down into manageable chunks to see if i can keep up with it :)

    My current debt is £2661.15 (which is current debt total: £5614.82 minus £2953.67 matched betting winnings :) )

    Theres 104 days from tommorow to the end of the year for me to get rid of that total so i will need to find £25.59 per day to make sure this happens :) (£2661.15 divided by 104 :) )

    Now i can make some of that daily money from matched betting plus it also doesnt take into account any of my monthly payments for my loan nor my credit cards so im hoping this will be an achievable challenge for myself :)

    Looking at it this way makes it less of a mountain to climb before the end of the year :rolleyes:

    I think looking at it, i might even take a week off work to invest some more time heavily into matched betting to get even more money behind me because i can then be open several accounts at once :)

    Im also really excited as well cos me monthly payment for me loan came out just before the weekend and now my loan is now three figures :j and is now below a £1000 :D Its now actually less than one of my credit cards :j :j

    Unfortunatley next month will be really tight due to the fact ive got an overpayment coming out of my wages (work basically fooked up :mad: ) and i dont know how much im going to be left with im crossing fingers it will be at least £800 as i will be able to just about manage. So im thinking of taking the week off work in October so to be able to do the matched betting on a fulltime basis so im not spending too much money or have temptations at work to spend money down the pub :)

    Sorry for bleeting on for a lot here but i just need to keep meself motivated and to keep going :)
