Wow, just added up that i've spent nearly £500 today in less than an hour!!
£165 on nursery fees - thanks Tax credits for your contribution to this
£110 payment to Capital One - 3 weeks before it was due, thats a first!
Money on paint and stuff for daughters bedroom, shes never had it decorated but im doing it cheaply, just putting some paint up, new curtains and a new quilt cover.
But my best spend was an extra £220 towards my Barclaycard, so nice to see that card balance getting smaller and smaller.
At least i know where it has all gone and it has gone towards debts, a few motnhs ago it would of probably been spent on new clothes!

Hiya
It is hard to swallow when you see as £500 spent in less than an hour. But realistically you have cleared a big amount off your debts and that in itself is fab news... Well done you!
:heartpuls CG :heartpulsEver wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0 -
Good for you Glittermonkey, at least it hasn't all been squandered away and the debt is going down. Keep up the good work.

Well done, great progress on your debts. I feel quite good too as I paid an additional £80 on my Barclaycard today so that's £180 so far this month all from additional money made on Ebay!!!
Keep up the good work you'll be debt free in no time!!My mantra is "Never pay full price!"
