    Hi everyone!

    Confession time: I've not been doing very well with this over the last month or so - although I have been continuing to pay off my debts, due to unexpected bills & whatnot I've not really had the money spare to put into my reward pot :o Not happy about that!! I have managed to put a few pounds in but only have ten pounds so far when I should have a lot more by now, the rest of you are putting me to shame!!

    Hopefully will manage to do a bit better from now & will update more regularly! With this in mind I have 'invested' (£1) in a swanky new tin :p it sounds kind of like your one Sue except mine has pics of credit cards plastered all over it (to ram it home exactly why I'm in debt!). Hoping that when Im feeling a bit more flush I can add in the extra money that I've missed so far as well.

    Hope everyone else is well & adding lots of lovely pounds to their reward pots!

    hey, well done chocChip! Adding some money is always good, plus you can always top it up to the correct amount later. love that your tin has credit cards all over it :rotfl:

    Still adding mine, slowly but surely. excited by friday as it is payday and I'll get to add some more :o

    Lost momentum recently. get fustrated as I can't pay the debt of as quickly as I want. that, and I spent over £100 on clothes this month!

    hope everyone else is getting on well x

    Thanks - I think I may do £1 per £50 paid off rather than actually cleared//my maths isn't good enough to work out how much is actual paying off and how much is interest..might mean I end up with a few more pound coins which will just be a bonus I think!

    Added! I just ignore my interest because you're right, it gets too confusing! Others have done it the way you are though.
