  • Pay day here too! :j

    £50 to Creation finance and £196 to Aqua credit card, that pays off that card completely! I got a letter from them a while ago saying they had closed my account, so have cut up the card and thrown pieces in bin :)

    Have other people found that their creditors have closed their accounts without having to be asked?
    Starting 2016 debt-free :D

    Another £100 paid off on Tesco Credit Card today. I was going to do £150 but don't want to screw myself over nearer end of next month. If I have it spare in the last week before next payday I will pay some more off.

    Total now is in my sig :)

    wooooooo payday!!!! got my insurance renewal price and its about £70 higher than the cheapest i've had so might see if they can match it.

    Nooo don't ask them to match it, ask them to beat it :D

    So instead of 30 hours overtime I managed to claw back 21, not bad I suppose! Better than nothing! Still annoying when they cancel after I've turned down other work and too late to arrange other things. Will probably have to reduce my March aim by £100 now! Boo!
  • #123 = £800/5000

  • I am seriously considering dropping out, as I only seem to be getting my monthly minimums paid and struggling with them. Think I will sleep on it and decide my best course of action tomorrow.

    Every little bit helps :) Or are you considering going onto a DMP or something else along those lines if you are struggling :(

    I hope you get things sorted :)
