  • Hi- room for another? Seeing this challenge has inspired me: I'm going to stop lurking and make a try to make a payment a week to deal with the debt. As I am a week behind already I have just paid £10 straight to my evil credit card. Right I'm off to work out how to do a signature thingy.....

    I am going to reinstate 'save the change' on my bank account and have a quick budget update with rounded up figures, should generate some extra and make it easier to make the payment.
    Well done everyone, its great to see more joining in.
    I currently pay parking most days and decided today that i am going to risk being 5 mins late every day to have a whizz round the corner where there are no parking restrictions. The chances of there being any spaces by the time I get there are slim but if I don't try I wont know, fingers crossed i'll get lucky a couple of days a month and use the money to make a payment.
