  • I didn't manage to post last week but I did still make an extra payment. I was paid back some money (£200)!! that I had lent. This went straight on to the evil credit card. Before my LBM I would have kept the cash in the house and used it bit by bit on nothing in particular so it feels good to be control of the cash for once!! It also feels good to see the credit card balance going down!!

    Then this week I have managed to pay an extra £50 to the credit card. I won't always be able to make payments of this amount but I'll aim to for as long as possible.

    I'm going to have a go at putting a few bits on ebay this week- if anything sells I'll be sure to use the cash for an extra payment. Fingers crossed- I'll let you know how it goes.

    Have a good week everyone and keep up the good work x

  • £5.05 sent to credit card today. Cheered me up after slipping on black ice yesterday and breaking my elbow! Previously I would've spent the money on chocolate to cheer myself up, but both my debts & waistline will shrink faster this way!!
