    Aww thank-you. You're right, and when I think about it, that enormous £90-odd grand is everything! So I shouldn't be too hard on myself! As long as I really do PAD a day, it's all worth it. I think Hypno on one of her diaries said when you get to a certain point of paying off debt, you get an `upspiral' which means as the debts disappear, you can chuck more at others.....This will be March 2010 for me, earlier if my bank charges come in or later if I change my FT job to a new one.......
    Whoop whoop

    That's my hope too! I don't owe much in comparison to some and originally most of mine was mortgage arrears. I was hoping to then throw more money at what was left.
    For me the little payments are working as I feel like I'm doing something extra.

  • Hullloooo alllll!

    I've decided that I will post the difference in my o/d as a PAD if it is lower this month (thanks Minnime!) as I reckon it counts if the debt's going down. After all, I could've blown that money on shoes, right? ;)

    PAD today of £75.72 to round down my credit card, please! I received my TV Licence refund two weeks earlier than I thought, so figured I better get rid of it onto a debt fast.

    Hope you are all dandy :o
