    Hi Jellybean. Just read through and looks like you are on the right path now. It's terrfiying when you realise how bad things are but everyone always feels better once the whole position is known and there is a plan of action in place. I agree that next has got to go ASAP as that interest rate is mad. I would then use than £50 to overpay on next highest one and so on and so on. That's what I am trying to do. Good luck I'm in this until at least 29 months so I'll keep you company ;).

    You are doing very well Jellybean. Well done on paying the NEXT card off.
    I should take note of what you are doing and try these things myself. I could never save £2 coins though, I would dip into them by the time I had £6 :rotfl::rotfl:
  • I never have any cash lol to get any £2 coins.

    Yes, I work for an agency doing sampling work at Asda, Ebay which is taxable and very quiet at the moment. Also I work in tescos at a Bureaux de Change and still struggling to pay my bills.
    How about you?
