    paid off £105 today - divided it between 2 debts - not sure if i shud of done that but felt a bit better that way. Its always so hard putting that amount of money towards something that seems to be for nothing - but as soon as i did it felt so much better.
    This thread really helps!

    Tiptoes in quietly... can i join please - have made extra payments for 2 weeks running which I am proud of. Onwards and Upwards!!!
  • Thanks for the inspiration! I would like to join the extra payment a week, will keep me focused and motivated. I thought I would round up all I can sell on ebay and use whatever I get towards this. I really want to be df by Dec 2012 - but then I am in this mess because of no patience to save and wanting things before I could really afford them! I feel that until out of debt life is on hold.....:mad:

    But my lbm was Nov 2009 £23,801 and Jan 2012 £11,726 :rotfl::j,

    So I am getting there, thanks to all your great posts and help which I come back to when I feel in need.....and to the wonderful CCCS, to whom I am so grateful.....just upped my payment, its as much as I can do, but it feels great to be dealing with it......best wishes and big hugs to all those who are scared..it does get better once you get to grips with it!

    Crazy Clothes challenge £300/£48 and 5 months /0 without spending :T


  • Well done MavvyMoo........when you work it out it makes sense to keep on paying small amounts as it shows the creditors we are serious and the balance keeps falling slowly but surely! I am making it into a bit of a hobby now and I am determined to get rid of the debts!
    Keep it up, we are all behind you!:money::T
  • I would also like to try this challenge, especially cc as they just seem never to go down.:(
