  • Hi peeps,

Bought the children joint birthday pressie (pre owned) as they are in the same week and only 2 and 6 and had some change:j.:jHer mum going in next week with her to challenge bank about ppi on o/d account, fingers crossed for that.
    Found some old gold they had and weighed that in. Thats the last council tax done & housing benefit debt sorted:j

    £20.82 today off hubby's credit card from an unexpected Quidco payment!!

    This thread is keeping me so motivated, I can't believe i've nearly cleared a £785 CC balance since January, just another £230 to go and the CC will be empty and closed!

    Have to agree :T This thread has been brilliant for me. Payment A Day is a little out of reach but once a week is do-able no matter how small. I'm waiting to see if anyone can top my week of £0.04p paid to the credit card :rotfl:

    I also get a bit of pleasure knowing I am making extra work for the credit card companies with my payments :)

    LancashireLass - Glad sons gf is finally getting sorted. I think you must have really helped open her eyes to making it manageable. Well done!

  • Hi - can I join up? I'm all motivated, my snowball is very nearly accurate and If I continue to pay £30 a month over the minimums I can have it paid off in 70 months....

    .....I'd rather have it paid off sooner, so I think this is where this thread will come in hand :-)
