    I'm really impressed that you used your Xmas present money - it's my birthday in 2 days and I know I will be getting some money. There isn't anything I especially want to buy so I really hope I can follow your example instead of wasting money buying something for the sake of it. Hopefully I will be strong enough to use at least some of it sensibly!
    Thanks, I just though as there is nothing I need im better off paying it off my Credit card. I'm also awaiting £750 PPI back, so that will be going straight off it too!. Just got to keep chipping away, I'm also going to try and keep track of any overtime at work and pay that straight off too!

    I would like to do this. I used to do A Payment a Day when it first started, and managed to clear two store cards and pay almost £400 off a high interest card. The habit slipped when I got an income reduction, and I never got back into it.

    For Payment A Week, I plan to pay at least £10 per week extra off a debt. I figure that I won't miss a tenner a week, but a £40 overpayment a month will soon make a big difference! :)

    Just made my first £10 payment. :)
