Paid off a debt today!

Hi guys,

I'm really happy with myself, i have just paid off a debt, ok the debt was only £87 to start with but a man has been coming to the door to collect money and i have been trying to give him £20 a week. it has taken me 5 weeks but i have done it. One less to worry about, and more motivation, i have also lceared out loads of stuff for ebaying and i am going to do some tonight as i have loads of motivation now!

Wish you all well

    It may 'only' be one debt, but if you can still find that extra £20 a week, that's £80 a month to chuck at your other debts. Gotta luuuuuurrrrrve snowballing!
