please-let-me-be-lucky

£11.40 for me this week. £10 to one debt and a bank account skim of £1.40 to another. I love getting the statement with all the little tiny payments listed on it! It's amazing how they add up Xx

Extra payments today of £60 to 3 cc - can't believe the difference it makes to pay back £20 to each - loving this idea!

Hi, I found this challenge a couple of weeks ago but this is my first post.

My weekly payment will going to a debt that is in arrears by £2000 which I already make a monthly payment of £75.

Last weeks extra payment was £20 and this week £16

Hey guys, i am soooo sorry for neglecting this challenge, feel very guilty.

I have been swamped at work and i am totally exhausted, mentally and physically. I have been putting in my tin though, just not posting on here. Have just been paid however I have not done any huge overpayment/s as I felt I needed a month off. So daughter has had pocket money (i had stopped this) for this month, we have had a takeaway and i have had a new outfit and an evening out. I am still as focussed as ever but I really did need a bit of life outside of putting £20pw petrol in the car and budgeting my £40 before I go food shopping. Sorry if that sounds like an excuse but im weary.

In a major move forward on paying off my credit card I have just done a balance transfer to a 0% barclaycard platinum that i applied for as it came through at the same time as a guaranteed 6.9% application. I filled in both forms and off they went, well they both came back and it would be rude not to take advantage of the 0% (my very first) whoop whoop. I cant tell you how happy I am about it, 16 months yipee.

Hi all

I have finally come back to the wagon and have made a £10.00 payment towards one of my credit cards.

Was hoping for more but have put money away this month towards the electricity and gas (did a reading on line and got the amount spent so far) so I don't have to find the money for a huge bill when it comes.

Onwards and upwards though
