Only an additional £33 to add for me at the minute as like most I'm now waiting for payday. Made some sales on ebay but have had a complaint today (sniff!) so just waiting to check I don't have to refund before I count it.
We've been working hard on weekly shopping so I think overdraft is coming down too which is progress.

Thanks for letting me join :j
I have never joined a challenge before, now what do I do???0 -
This is my first as well, emmie.
all you do is keep track of how much you're saving/paying off your debt.
Some people are earning extra and putting it in a separate pot/account, some are counting their normal payments as well and either are or aren't deducting their interest.
me, for example, i have any extra money going into a separate account from mystery shopping and my helen e make up parties. At the end of the month I'll tot up how much ive paid towards each loan and take off the interest to know exactly what I've paid off. Then for things like the two months with no council tax i'll include that but wont take it out, as if I dont spend it, itll come off my o/d. Does that make sense?
Youll find your own way, just update your sigature so we can all see how well youre doing
