Owe parents for car = £410/£2950
Owe SAAS £240/£548
BF Lend £0/£200
And I'm still pretending my student loan doesn't exist until I earn enough that they ask for it!0 -
Am I too late to join in? I don't have an amount in mind but anything extra will be great and help to clear the debt.0

Anyone managed any extra payments yet this week?
I'm waiting til Sunday to see what there is left in my account... been an expensive week (signed up for the moonlight prowl a 13 mile midnight walk and bought a gig ticket -oops-!) but hopefully be some left in there to put across.
Excited at the thought of getting this credit card paid off and this extra payment per week is really helping, I'd never have thought of putting 2.30 across before as it didn't seem 'worth' it but it most definitely is, love this challenge[STRIKE]Credit Card 17.9% = £460 paid off 2013[/STRIKE]!

65p for me this week:eek: Holiday times are always so much more difficult not that mine are little children I did buy some blinds for the living room and a KFC, train fares so it all adds to a expensive weeks. I did stay in for 6 days straight I was climbing the walls, my sister is really down at the mo looks like she will be evicted from her council flat, and my best friends son committed suicide Easter weekend.... I just needed to run away from everyone..I sound like a crap friend as my sister and friend cant run away from their problems. I just needed space to re-group clear my head, and I went on a spending spree... Oh well not much I can so now except be supportive to those around me, count my blessing and carry on.Penny wise pound foolish. 366 days 1p challenge 2020/21/22/23 completed.

:heart2: Thank you for your support feel better today my heart just goes out to my friend, it's that feeling of being 'useless' what the hell do you say to someone who's son killed himself..words just don't seem enough.
My friend didn't even get to say 'goodbye' to her boy...it didn't happen in this country his ashes will be coming back home, hopefully the funeral service will give her some peace, and she is a fighter. It makes you realise how fragile human life can be. THANKYOU.Penny wise pound foolish. 366 days 1p challenge 2020/21/22/23 completed.
