    Well, well, not so fast :cool: I followed Fantastyik's advice and paid off business credit card with saving . I felt happy and free- until I found out my DH used my credit card to tank his car to full ,£87.91 . He'll get a paycut in his pocket money.
    My new goal is on my signature. Let's face it, it's unlikely I'll get there, but not impossible. I'm waiting for a payout from an insurance company formy car I lost in a recent accident.
    For now, goal for this challenge is £2000. It can happen with payout.

    Bring it on!

    Hi Amara,
    Just saw you took the plunge!!! :T :T That's great.
    I'm so happy for you.
    Well done :j
  • I still pop on here and follow everyone's progress. Haven't been able to make any more payments myself. Had some work lined up - or so I thought but they cancelled so that source of income dried up.

    You are all doing really well. And I am inspired by each of you, whether it's £1 you pay or less, or more. In fact it was the people who pay less than £1 who made me realise I could do that. I used to think I had to pay at least £10 before I would have taken myself into a bank to pay it off a cc. Oh the anonymity of online banking :rotfl:

    Have been finding it tighter to make ends meet this week. One unexpected spend of £30 can make such a hole in the budget. I know that if I don't get anywhere before Christmas with this debt I have got some time in January that I can focus on it.

    Thank you everyone!!

    Keep it up!
