    Glad to see you back innamin

    £4.29 this week rounding down my bank account
  • £22.08 this week :rotfl::rotfl:

    Like a lot of other people on here, I never could have imagined paying off this sort of money. I think I have made 6 payments now with a wopping total of just over £200 already :rotfl::rotfl:

    Still got a long way to go till i have paid my kids off completely :( but it's an amazing start! Then I can start paying extra to all creditors - as they are all interest free due to the DMP i will probably start with the one I owe the least to and get rid of them one at a time!!

    Thank you everyone for all your help and support :D
    Extra payment a week challenge: This week £20.27 Total so far £221.41 :beer:
  • £4.32 for me this week from rounding down my bank account. I'm as impressed as everyone else at how well the total is adding up with just a bit here and a bit there! Well done everyone, pats on the back all round :T
    Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
    Best win so far - holiday to Florida
  • £6 just paid on to the credit card: so thats my payment for this week. And yes I definitely agree... before this challenge I would have spent this extra money on nothing in particular.

    £3.75 this week from skipped bus trips and some random spare change found left on the seat on the train (happy valentines me!).

    I've almost paid off the last £25 on my Natwest card, which is so exciting! :j

    Off next week to watch the rugby, so probably not a big extra payment next week. All in a good cause though - come on Exeter!
