    well the credit card keeps getting higher and higher ... I had to put down my lovely dog yesterday... £188.26 for the vet to do this......... mum fell over and has had 10 stitches in her hand but she is now on the mend. I really think that my balance at the end of the year is going to be higher than last years... which is so frustrating. ... extra payments of £10.00 on my bank loan saving £5.00 interest.

  • So sorry to hear about your dog and your Mum Jaxsmar, you really aren't having a good time at the moment are you? Hugs.
    Try not to stress about the balance being higher than last year, imagine what it might have been without MSE! Xx

  • I love this challenge:T. only discovered it in the past month and keep forgetting to post but i managed to overpay £86.23 last month!

    The debt has been really getting me down in the past few weeks. But i have climbed out of my pit of despair and am back on board now and will try to post every week. It is all on 0% for between 24-30 months the first one needing to be paid by Feb 2015 which i think is achievable . I am just concentrating on that one to start with.

    won a little at bingo today, paid it straight off the cc as what I didn't have in the morning, I won't miss, and added a tenner of my 'own' money, prob will miss that before Thursday but couldn't resist!

  • Im likely to be busy at end of the week and i promised to post regularly so...

    £4.00 over pay to credit card

    My specialist has reduced my medication to every other day so my prescription now lasts 2 months instead of one, before starting this challenge i wouldn't have even thought about it!
  • an unexpected over payment of £59 as I paid the CC bill early but forgot to cancel my DD so they took an additional £59 !! yikes!! :)
