    Must admit I really want to get rid of OD before they start charging the £5 fee in December.

    Good gracious I am getting thick I really am, for a moment there I really really thought you were saying there was a bank called Flying Horse Bank. LMAO when the penny dropped! :rotfl:
    I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
    (Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)


    As of the last count I have cleared
    [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt. :(
  • Evening all,
    I have to say I'm starting to get a teensy bit nervous now that the 1st September is getting so close _pale_, will I be able to make my target , I don't know but I really, really hope so. On the upside I managed to knock £100 off my overdraft today, so getting there, slowly.

    Of course you will! You have nothing to lose so just think positively and you will get there. :D

    Well done on clearing £100 of your OD.

    I'm sure you will meet your target but just remember it's not the winning that's important but the taking part. In other words it doesn't really matter if you make your target. This challenge to me is about focussing on one debt and making a conscious effort to pay more off that debt than you would have done normally.

    Come on - positivity all round. At the very least we are all going to be trying our absolute best.

    None of my ebay items finishing tonight sold, but i have relisted them and perseverance is the order of the day. I personally can't wait for the 1st. I am picturing myself as Scrappy Doo. 'Let me atta em Uncle Scooby, Let me atta em.'

    I have faith in us all so i want us all to keep positive and encourage each other. Between us we are stronger than alone, and it has been proved in 3 previous challenges.
