Hi all, after a holiday blip that has lasted a couple of months and experiencing guilt each morning that I receive an email alert from this thread, I'm ready to get back in the saddle!

I have been missing for a long time as well, but need to get back on the wagon :rotfl:

This may sound a silly question but how do you get e mail alerts from this thread, that may just be in motivation that I need ??

Thanks

I'm another returning absentee! No excuses, I've just had some really expensive months which resulted in the ultimate sin of ADDING to my CC balance :eek:.
On a good note, I have continued saving my £2 coins and 50p's (which is now allocated to an American trip next July for a wedding), and my 20p's have continued to go into my 'rainy day' jar which is almost half full now (and will probably go on the American trip too!)
I've just put in for 25 hours overtime at work which will go towards my CC bill and help get me back on track.
32 months to be Debt Free now.
Nice to be back and well done everyone on your continued success :T

I've just found this challenge - I'll give it a go to make some headway on the 4 credit cards I have

I'll make a small payment per week ontop of the 2 with the highest APR's after the min repayments have gone out

£6.48 from tidying my account today.

Well done to those still plugging away and hugs to those who are having a hard time. Chin up everyone, only ten weeks or so left of the year!! We've all made such a difference already Xx

Happy Sunday guys,
Managed to sort RAC - cancelled and went with AA for loads cheaper (plus Quidco cashback), therefore, put the difference towards my payment this week - hee hee. Also tidied the bank account so glad I have managed a payment for the first time for ages.
Keep going everyone - every little helps !!

Hi Peeps,
just popping in ooh not many been on in here this week!!!
Nice to see new peeps and old ones comming back on board well done all!!!

Just updated my signature.... got rid of one loan again was a 0%er but I do just need to tidy up anyway the total is falling down and thats what counts!!:j
My total has had a big drop again...(it doesnt feel right patting myself on the back- but this is what this forum is about.Right?)
I really am amazed what can be done:D must admit though there is nowt in the cupboards, again that sets its challenges tin of Sains** basic tom soup and packet of noodles for dinner for 2 cost 45p:). We really are eating what is in there I refuse to throw it away whatever the date is!! its only a guide at the end of the day and your tongue and taste buds will let you know if it is not right... many years ago I fed us all a jelly that was older than my son at the time 7/8 yrs old. I had made it just to see if it would still set and it did - so we ate it!!!:p
Keep up the good work peeps - gotta go do some ebaying now
Remember - Everthing that is worthwhile requires effort

Yipeee! Managed £18.21 this week. Might even have some next week as well. This is such a relief after a few weeks of not making any extra payments at all. Just chip, chip, chipping away at it.
