Hi
How much are you trying to clear and what's the debt?

Hiya Emily! You're a star btw for starting this! :A I really need motivation to get doing what I plan to do
Oops! That's me being a muppet and posting when I should be thinking about going to bed! I've got £993 on my credit card at the moment and want to clear it by the end of April ideally but definately before the end of May.
Stupid, stupid thing I took out and I hate it so much, it's got to go asap so I can start working on my loan!0 -
Just popped by to wish you all good luck. I'm a little bit too busy over the next 2 months to join in (baby due shortly, just in case I haven't mentioned it lol), but I love reading these threads, they're so motivating! Hope you all have great success - maybe you could do a total of how much you have paid off overall, perhaps weekly, or monthly (because I'm nosey you see
).
