Have got family allowance tomorrow so I'll be able to deduct another £15. Maybe getting the balance under £250 is achievable.

Well done!

Thanks Red, when I deduct the £15 tomorrow I'll be under £300. Am just off to count my £2 jar. Don't think I've got very much but whatever is in the jar can come off the balance.

I know what you mean about the £2 I do the same and as soon as it gets to £20 off the the bank i go, it just feels so good to see the balance going down

The balance today is £291.41. Have got £24 in £2 coins so going to bag that up and ask DD to pay it into Halifax today. Am going to have a good look at my Halifax tonight and see if there is a few pounds spare that I can utilise. Family allowance gone in and the £15 been transferred. Only other thing I have to pay is the phone bil

A massive £45 been paid off Shapely today, the £15 from the FAM and the £24 in £2 coins and I took £6 out of my purse to make it up to a round figure. Off to alter the signature

You are doing so well keep this up and the debts will be gone in no time

Thanks Herewego, I hope your right. Ive only listed the 3 manageable ones, the bid massive ones are to come. I keep telling myself - baby steps!!!!

I need £11.41 by Saturday to get the balance to £250. Only money coming in is Tax Credits on Friday and I can't really see me managing to have any of that over. I've got some coppers bagged up in the cupboard waiting to be paid in so maybe I'll have to resort to paying those in to meet my target.

7 days until payday.....

£4.62 in current account, £11.42 in Amazon (which I've just asked to be reimbursed) and £12.00 in coppers so there's a potential £28. If I could scrape £2 from the tax credits there's another £30 off the balance.

My head is absolutely swimming with numbers at the moment, but I think I'm getting somewhere.
