    Those credit cards are paid off and closed down - a good result there. The £12 extra payment I made covered the interest and they refunded me 28p back and all is completed.

    This challenge really helped me get payments on track over the last year so a big thank you for running it - good luck everyone!

    If you make a little extra payment a week you will be amazed at how much difference that makes and the progress it makes too

    7.80 for me this week. (£5 over payment to provident), £2.80 to argos (which doubled the min payment!)
  • Just a wee £2.60 for me today as half term starts today, and with the weather being as wet as it is here I might need an 'entertainment budget'!! If I manage to keep it small I will pay more off next week.

    Lucky we must stop meeting like this! However small the amount it's still something and small amounts add up.

    Scraped together £10 for this week's extra payment.

    I said I would overpay by £300 by end of October and as yesterday was payday I paid off £141.50 to hit my target. Next target to pay off £500 by the end of the year.

  • £3.60 this week. Every little helps and I broke the £300 barrier. Woo hoo!

    Hope you're all OK x
