    Paid £5.21 yesterday by rounding my account down (great idea by the way whoever came up with that one!). I'm not managing to pay much per week but it's really nice to see it all add up.

    Keep it up everyone we're all doing so well! :D
  • Got paid this morning and this is my second job. I know this month has a lot of extras but I have managed to pay £10 extra off one c/c and £17.48 off another, Will update signature now.
    Waiting for a cheque for £37.50 as I get £7.50 alternate weeks for running a B/F group in the past this payment has been erratic so not bothered. But now the organisation are worried that if they don't use it thme may well lose it so I am now putting claim form every 2/3 sessions.

  • Well as its the end of the month, I'm trying my best not to go overdrawn before payday, but when I paid of my £5ish last week and thought I had a card balance of £100 I forgot to factor in the interest that was yet to be added to the account (boo!) so I have just paid £2.08 to get rid of the interest to bring it back down to £100. Will try and do better next week.

  • Hi all well it is going to be a rather small payment until I find out whats happening with my husband`s car he had a bump and we think the insurers are going to write it off. :( Oh well not so small £15 in small change. It surprizing how quick it add up. This was last weeks payment hopefully another one on Friday.

    £5.00 + £53.01= 58.01 lets hope I can keep this up.

    Hi All,

    A big payment this week of £125 against the credit card.

    My company pays for the cabs for the Christmas party. I just claimed it back today but as we'd already paid out I though I may as well put it to good use before it disappears down the black hole of my purse.
