  • Welcome back Betty Crumble, and great work everyone on the extra payment!
  • Hi everyone,

    I've not been on for a while as I have been poorly sick :( but I'm better now :) Progress has been made here, thanks to a certain bird that buys DVD's and CD's we have paid off one debit :) and by using the snowball calculator I have just managed to pay £85 on a buy now pay later debt we have. I'm so chuffed as it feels like progress :) Groceries should be fairly cheap this week too as I have bits let over from being ill last week (every cloud).

    :):):)

    Another Council Tax free month so paid half of my bill onto the CC thats another £60.00 to the total and taken me over the £100.00 mark up to £136.15. Can't believe it.

    I'm really excited about the fact the dreaded loan finishes in May so hopefully extra funds avaliable to get the CC paid off quicker.

    Well done everyone

    £48.52 this week!

    Been very lucky with my final batch of ebay sales, along with splitting the cash left in my account at the end of the month between savings and debts, and finally converting my euros back to £'s.

    Feels really good, next week will be closing down my Natwest CC! :) Think that future weeks will be a bit different as I move back to purely focussing on travel and not drinking so much takeaway coffee.
  • Hi, I've made an overpayment of £4 on my catalogue account. Its only got a small balance remaining (£36) and if I can get it paid off then its £10 a month toward one of the dreaded CC's.
    Debt Free Date: November 2017
  • £3.07 from rounding down the bank account, making a rather fabulous £171 paid of in extra bits and bobs in 2 months. Soooooooo pleased. Best part is, I havent noticed the 'missing money'.:T
