    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!

    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

    Thanks to DD paying her board money I've now paid the last £160 off my Barclaycard. Now chipping away at the Halifax card. Only £3360.10 to go (sigh!).

    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

    £23.00 just gone off Kays! (total for them now down to £120!) :j
  • Think I managed to forget my overpayment on Friday, so I've just paid £4.81 to the credit card. It was making my balance look untidy!!
