Inamin hope you are ok virtual hugs to you
What a fab total. A pat on the back for all of us, it just goes to show how these small extra payments can add up0 -
Another £5 paid off this week, you are right, it does get strangely addictive - very satisfying to see the total drop - even if it is only by small amounts!0

Hi Everyone,
Bit of a double whammy this week for me as I am member of the £2 savers pot but every £20 I acheive is being paid against the debt. Got to £20 yesterday to today it will be paid off against the nasty old CC.
Inamin Thanks for adding up the total. I hope your MIL makes a speedy recovery.
£10k :eek: WOW Huge pat on the back everyone :T

I've just paid an extra £25 off my CC's with the payment from recycling my old phone. (I've kept the other £3 towards the £25 annual membership of my local swimming pool, as it saves me £1 every visit and I go once or twice a week).Debt Free Date: November 20170

Wow what a total so far well done everyone.
I have rounded my bank account down this week to the nearest £10.00 so paid off £5.77. Total so far £70.15 can't believe it and I only started 4 weeks ago.0 -
Two large payments this week as I got paid today from my 2nd job, normally the money would be used to tide me over until payday from my main job, but i've been watching what I spend from my main wages this month and will be using the second job money to make extra payments instead! So £117 which has now cleared my Next account completely - I can close it! Hurrah!! And then £122.91 onto Hubby's credit card leaving me £50 for our holiday savings (not included in my total). Keep going everyone!Nov NSD: 8/7 Dec NSD: 1/10Sealed pot member #1443 2011: £106. 2012: £171Ninjakat challenge: Aim to clear two debts by April 2013100 day challenge: No toiletries or magazines 19/100 (3 x fails
