  • £88.19 paid to credit card this week. A mixture of a lottery win, tidying my bank account and snowballing (paid off a credit card last month that I would normally pay £50 to today, so I sent that on to the next credit card).
    Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
    Best win so far - holiday to Florida

  • Morning Peeps... oh no at it again not logging in each week must try harder. I have to be honest I have been doing the payments for sons gf managing weekly bits into her Barclays OD:o. I have just now moved a princely sum of £21 from her ebay account and now we/she is into the 600's bracket.:jI am well chuffed this is all down to finding the thread and you all wearing your hearts on your sleeves with admirable honesty:T:T:T. I didnt quite clear my own Nationwide CC as I had planned, am nearly there though, just £182 and it will be gone.
    Who says you cant kill 2 birds with one stone??
    Remember me posting about some insurance on the account and bringing the charges down.....well of course didnt match up to our expectations... so thats now cancelled and a £5 refund of charges came back to the account. Leaving things simple..
    keep up the good work everyone we are all dolng so well.
    Away now to update signature.
    will drop in here again friday.

    I agree Betty. I'm feeling a bit blue at the moment but when I look at what I've acheived it's not so bad and posting on the challenge thread does really help keep me going. :D
