    In debt no more!
  • Good Morning everyone. I haven't posted in a while (it's the serial lurker in me) but have been following in the thread with interest.
    I've been racking my brains for ways to pay some extra money off my debts over the next year and as my OH works at a supermarket, I'm going to pay any money we save in staff discount off one of my debts. It's not much but 'every little helps'! (It's not that supermarket btw!!)
    Also, I have 2 laptops that I don't use so am going to try and sell those before xmas so that should make a small dent in my total!

    Please could I also update my total £183.10/£10369
