  • Hi all,

    well done to everyone so far. I've loved this thread, been really helpful to me.

    Today I've earmarked £31.80 from my quidco payment to the debts meaning I've managed to save £300.45 in total to pay off my o/d so far. I have £499.55 to go. Feels so much better it being in the £400's!! Only £99.55 till I'm halfway there...
