  • I start on a Monday, but that's just my personal preference.

    Julie2710, sorry to hear about the boiler - handy you had the pot to dip into I imagine!
  • £7.19 just sent to the credit card. £5 of this was because I'm not going to fat club tonight because I'm poorly sick, so that's the fee saved. The £2.19 was to make my balance look tidier!

    Will hopefully make another extra payment on friday as normal Xx

    As I said on your diary, every little step counts. All my little steps on this challenge last year resulted in £700 less debt for me this year :D Xx

    Hey guys, just sneaking in with an extra bank skim today of £4.88. This obsessiveness with keeping the bank account total "tidy" is becoming worrying - hee hee.

    2014 - £363.98

  • Morning Peeps,
    Happy New Year to you all.
    Had a lovely wombling Christmas worked all new year as thats how my shifts fall for next 5 years!!
    Well back to reality and the grind stone of moving money and making it work harder - ;).
    Things are seriously tight and not good but whose fault is it anyway... not complaining dont get me wrong, I am just pushing myself into the right place for the year, I did a whopping amount last year without really realising what can be acheived.I am in a better place now to move on with this even though not done a lot in last 6/7 weeks.
    OK enough - here we go 8.94 tidying bank account to pay to one CC:)

    Wow well done - although it's not as good as my massive payment this week of £2.89 ;)
