Hi Everyone,

I have just come across this thread, as you can see from my sig I am doing a few other challenges...not sure whether o join this one as well!!!??? How is everyone finding the weekly challenge?

I'm not sure if I can really afford to pay more than my minimum amount on top of the minimum each month...I could afford an extra £5 or so each week, does that count?

Thanks for your helps and support guys xx

Hi Sammy,

I'm sure every member of this challenge will agree with me that it doesn't matter how much you pay. Even 50p a week will eventually make a dent

To all current members - I'm not sure if I should count this or not.

When I first had my LBM my minimums on my dreaded CC's was £380. Thanks to paying a chunk off and being a card tart with 0% deals, the minimums now are a lot less. Today is my pay day and I have paid off £250 against my credit card as that's the original £380 less the minimums I now pay. Can this count as this weeks overpayment?

Rubbish for me this week as my multi-buy savings only came to 20p although I suppose I stuck to my shopping list I am going to try to pay something next week but until then I am trying to NSD but with the kids off that's easier said then done (especially as it was DS1 birthday on Sunday and we took the kids bowling).

Actually now I think about it, we bought all DS1's gifts without sticking them on the Ar@os card like usual, we took the kids bowling and only the kids bowled (DH helped and I supervised the others while they waited their turn) we got pizza for tea and DH and I shared and usually would get one each (then have loads left over that never gets eaten) and I was going to make a cake and costed the things I needed and calculated that it was better value to buy a Mr T Value one so I suppose although I haven't made an extra payment I have achieved something I normally wouldn't have done :rotfl:

Hi everyone

Sammy, come join in even a small amount makes a difference plus it gives you a boost

Payday today for me so a huge £130 for cc

Quick question - is anyone else totally surprised about how they actually have surplus each week to pay against their debts?

I've spent months (years?) convincing myself that I simply can't pay more than my usual payments, so it's been a bit of an eye opener to pay anything extra and still have enough for other things.

Hi Purplegrape Yes I feel the same the £200 extra I have paid doing this challenge would have been spent on rubbish !!!Before my LBM and I never thought I would have had any extra let alone £200 !:T

Welcome Sammy just try this challenge it keeps you focused and £5 a week is £20 a month, It will soon add up on your signature

Good luck everyone keep going :T:j
