    You know what kath, you might have hit on something there! Everyday I look at my CC balances online even though I know they haven't gone down! Perhaps from now I'll just do it once a week or so! :D

    It really does seem to work.

    Sometimes I check my savings account every two days even though I only make a monthly deposit and I know interest is paid at the end of the month :rotfl: Just gets disheartening though, and feels like you're making no progress.

    Truth is, as long as payments are automated etc, a few days away from it all can really help.

    Sometimes I think a few days off posting here might help too but it never quite happens :rotfl:

    Then once I realise I can't afford the minimum payments I will get a loan to consolidate the credit card! :D

    Then I'll go back out and use my credit card to buy...................... wait for it ............................ those mud flaps I've had my eye on! ;) :rotfl:

    I found I was getting bored and down in the dumps. I now use the Tesco misprice thread. It amuses me getting things for nothing from my local stores. Some I sell on e-bay as well. Why not give it a go?
    Don't waste your words I don't need,
    Anything from you.
    I don't care where you've been or,
    What you plan to do.

    And put them on another card, let the interest rack up, consolidate again, decide these loans would be much better as one secured loan.... it could go on and on :rotfl:
