This weekend I have counted up all loose change around the house, car, bag etc, it totals a few pence over £10.
I am going to give the £10 to the provident woman when she comes tomorrow, which increases my weekly payment of £15, and brings me one step closer to paying it off!0 -
Thank you
I have not managed to pay any extra off over this weekend, but it is payday for me next wednesday and I cannot wait to overpay some more of this debt!
It will put me in a much better financial position when all of my debt payments are gone.Total debt to pay: £14,071.41/ Remaining debt: £12,884.12: Amount Paid: £1,187.29

Well this week, progress is slow, but at least it's progress!!
£10 extra on argos (which is a 200% increase on my normal token payment of barely anything)
£25 on capital 1.. (which I am very pleased about. A bit less interest to pay).. (once kays and argos is done, cap 1 is my project!!)
And £10 overpayment on provident...
And I get my wages on Friday this week, so I'm hoping to bring kays down a bit aswell, and overpay brighthouse by £11, so they have a week in advance.
Total standing just short of 9500 now:j
