Payday here...

Just logged on to my internet bank and we've been paid.Won't go very far though.The credit card that we pay off every month ( cashback) has taken a battering, and we have had to pay £130 for our part of a holiday in a cottage in October, so it will only be minimum payments on the other cards this month.
Still, I will try and get my overdraft down below £350 this month, so that will have to be my aim.Getting frustrated that I can't pay these cards off quicker.As you can see from my sig, I don't owe that much but it's like a millstone round my neck!

    Wow themaccas - you are doing really really well!

    mintymoneysaver - I know what you mean about 'smaller' amounts being like a millstone around your neck. I have a stubborn £917.33 overdraft to pay off but I have just not been able to get a full time job to get some proper cash coming in. I have had bits of temping work but nothing that will shift this aggravating overdraft! RAH!

    You will get there though mintymoneysaver. You are doing awesomely!!
