  • P. S. I've just noticed that I've paid an extra £100 (almost) off the credit card since the beginning of august, just by making these small payments of a few pounds a week.

    It really does make a difference! :)

    Its great isnt it!
  • I didn't realise my organisation will refund eye tests (£25.00) so that was an unexpected extra. Also voucher used for recent click and collect £2.00 so this weeks overpayment:

    £27.00

    Thank you everyone for keep posting and keeping me motivated.:T
  • £10 for me today means I've hit the £700 mark for the year. It's looking like 2014 will be my best year yet for extra payments per week :T.

    Hello all! Been missing for a little while but carried on Tilly tidying and moving money across I would normally spend and have just paid £100 off our mortgage with it! Not too bad at all!

    Today I moved £2.65 over, and am attempting a no booze november so theoretically I should have a spare £5-10 quid to move depending if it would have been one bottle or two this weekend!

    Hope its going well!

    Jodles :D

    This really works for me and i am constantly seeking out small amounts here and there to add to the total.

    I look forward to everyone's updates you are all doing so well.:)

    I had a look through some redundant accounts and rounded them all down to nil. The odd pound and pence here and there total:

    £10.90
  • Thanks for all the good wishes everyone!

    Today I've paid an extra £15 to the credit card which consisted of a 'normal' £10 extra payment, and another £5 because my exercise class was cancelled after the instructor broke her foot! Might as well use what I saved for debt busting if I can't use it for fat busting! Xx

    Hi Everyone:hello: I was wondering if I can come join you. I know it's near the end of the year but I really need to get myself back on track and don't want to wait til January. I really want to clear my cc and there's no time like the present to start. I intend to round down my available balance every Sunday and pay it to my cc with that in mind £4.61 paid today.
    Hope everyone has a great Sunday :)
    Debt free as of 29.10.2020 🎉😁
