    Morning All,

    Have tipped the purse out, £1.86 into the holiday fund.

    As budget is tight we are on homemade lunches so I shouldn't need to break into the £5 note in my purse so may have some more to put by at the end of the week.

    Been away for a couple of weeks so time to catch up and get back on it. I made my regular monthly payment to the CC with an overpayment of £6.15. :T

    My loan is on its last payment next month so hopefully will be able to throw a bit more money at the dreaded CCs :j

    Hi Peeps,
    oops looks like I've not been in here for a couple of weeks... not sure why. Things are on the up... sons gf is definately on board now with her payments and little extras, to the point my son chips in the change from his pocket:D too. She gave me 12p on sunday and I was not embarrased to take it from her she knows it is all good ;). They in total that week had chipped up 1.20 but as all us on here know thats a different figure at the end of the month :).
    Last weeks payment in to Barclays was 10.42 we heee:j.
    Keep going everyone we doing just fine.

    Sorry i've not posted for a while but i've still been making my extra payments, i've had lots of miscellaneous money coming in this past two weeks - Green Metropolis, Ebay, a refund from a White Stuff dress which shrunk etc etc so have managed to make a dent in my husbands flexi-loan, plus we've cleared the small credit card which is great!!!

    Keep it up!

    Brilliant news Mavvymoo! We're all doing so well.

    A little late, but I made 85p payments last week as was on a mini break with family - will pay more attention this week and see what I can do.
