OK let the challenge begins. I have a debt which currently stands at £85.35 which has been passed to Moorcroft. I have written to them and they are refusing to accept a F&F so I've just sent a cheque off for £20 My aim is to get this paid off by the end of January. I've amended my Signature for the new challenge!12/04/2019

Have just dug out 9 DVD/CD's to put on Music Magpie need to find another one so that I can send them off. Not going to get very much for them probably less than £10 but every little helps.
Have also got £39 winging its way from PayPal account so that takes me up to £49, which means I need to find less than £20 to pay off the first debt of 2011.
I received a letter from Tax Credits over Christmas informing me that I may receive an extra payment between now and the end of January. Lets hope that'll come through and it will be for 100's of pounds. Am living in hope now.......12/04/2019
