Hi peeps,
hope all well this week. Been slow but things are looking better. Sons gf had a brill week and is on a roll she weighed in some clothes and got paid!. 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

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....
