    Massive slide the last week or so.
    Lots of expenditure followed by a period of reduced income then my phone refusing to charge and requiring a replacement has meant I've not made any headway and have in fact USED my credit card.

    Feeling rather disheartened but I was heading in the right direction so just need to get back into that frame of mind :)
    [STRIKE]Credit Card 17.9% = £460 paid off 2013[/STRIKE]!
    £1000 overdraft 0% = 0/£1000
    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! :p

    I got paid an extra £29 this month for working an extra day. Most of the overtime I do is unpaid as I'm salaried so its a nice surprise. In the past I'd have treated myself but this challenge is really good for keeping me on track so onto the cc it went.

    Extra payment of £80 this week to my Barclaycard. New balance £1320 to be paid off by the end of August when 0% ends.:eek: However, have overpaid by £402.83 since I joined this challenge but still need to get my skates on!
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • Well done SA!!

    £7.01 for me today which is more than it has been lately but is still pretty poor. It's free listing this weekend on eb@y so might see what I can make on there!

    £12 today.

    Mainly thanks to working lots this week so not really had to pay too much for food as can grab bits and pieces from work.

    Hope everyone has had a good week :)
