    Does anyone else get impatient when you've been paying something month by month and you really want to get to next month so you can pay a bit more off?

    Yep, all the time!!

    No muchowing I was just coming in to say I haven't started yet too...

    Well I have and I havent...

    I had an appointment with a nice debt advisor who works with the CAB (but not for them as such- complicated set up) and she's going to try to get me onto one of two different schemes. Either the one that matches my water arrears repyaments pound for pound or the one that does one-off, lump sum grants to cover water arrears. So although I haven't paid anything, I have still made a start. Fingers crossed!
    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. :(

    Thank god for this challenge starting again. I have went of the rails a bit this past few weeks and not for the better and ended up using my visa card due to a few unexpected bills which I think will effect me into oct as well but have managed to pay another £30 of my dp card balance now £75. I have not cleared it as I had hoped but will get there. I also have a hol booked at the end of the month 1st in over 3 years so that might take up any extra money and am kinda wishing I had not booked it now but after that I am on a misson till xmas.

    Good luck everyone with the challenge and hopefully I will get my backside in gear after the end of the month and reach my goal.
