    I found £2 in an envelope in the kitchen today, can't remember how it got there so paying that off the credit card.
    Still patiently waiting for the mis sold endowment cheque so I can clear the smallest card and start on the next one :o

    Had some good news. Money that had been in an NSandI account that I had completely forgotten about (it was put in there for me when I was a lot younger) came to term.

    There was enough in it to pay off my credit card Yayyy!! Now time to get rid of it so temptation isn't there.

    Time to start on the overdraft...
    [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
  • Been very slack lately. £4.00 last week.

    Refocus Purplegrape!!

    Glad everyone else is coming along well - brilliant!

    Back from my holiday (1 week in Tenerife) back to the real world :( I need to look at my accounts and make an extra payment today.
    I brought my first Christmas present:xmassmile yeah I know but the earlier I start the less expensive it get towards the end of December... I did think of you guys whilst away (guilt) then gave myself a pep talk 7 year without a holiday trying to justify it ... then that vicious cycle begins! Now the holiday is over back on track and I'am going to tackle this debt and start living again.. well that's the theory :D

    Just £2 for me this week. Discovered another £2 in the house so putting it to good use.

    Waiting for next week and I will look to pay the mis sold endowment money I've just got and clear the lowest card! Then to start on the big one that I don't even seem to be denting at the minute. :o
