    Hi all,

    Well done for all the payments being made! I am also counting down to pay day, only one week to go!

    Was meant to meet my OH yesterday, but he's been sick, so we had to skip it. Sadly won't see him til next month now, but on the plus side, it has saved me around £30.

    Welcome to the newbies:

    ali bf you're #189 - the best thing you can do to help pay off debts is work out a budget. Figure out how much your spending and see where you can make savings. MSE does have a good budget helper, but let us know if there are any individual items you need help with!

    Dolly Rocker you're #190 - good luck with the challenge!

    My Noddle has gone up to 3/5! Just by reducing my debts, havent messed around with my accounts much.

    I am hoping when I am debt free it will be 5/5? I don't know how they judge it but I have no defaults or missed payments, so hoping it will climb up a bit more.

    I know everyone says its just a meaningless score but at least it will generally be good! :P

    Getting my May aims ready!

    1. Get to £2000
    2. Pay off my CC in full (£2300)
    3. Get to 50% of debt paid off (£2650)

    1 and 2 will be fine, but 3 might be a bit of a push! :D
  • Thanks for my number.

    Good Luck marliepanda.

    May might not be the best month for me as DH starts a new job & not sure when he will get paid.

    Dxxx
