this year i'm aiming to
- shut down 1 of 2 unused current accounts (need to save one cos some places dont accept maestro cards only visa debit, and my main account is a maestro:mad:)
- close down my catalogue account (no balance but i always keep it 'just in case')
- reduce my overdraft limit, its currently quite high!
- reduce my monthly outgoings!0 -

Could I join in please
Aiming to clear £4000.00 this year 
Of course
Number 125.And we're eventually off the starting blocks .... 1st payment made!!! Haven't got the heart to add on the £3200 I've just borrowed off parents to buy new car, lol! Tackling the old debts first.
How much are you off the starting blocks by? :beer:0 -
Quick check in - keep it up everyone! We're past the £60,000 barrier already, due in no small part to Duke 848's antics :rotfl: There are loads of us counting down the days to payday, it's been a very long month. Keep going, don't let it come off the rails, and we'll be back in business before you know it.0

All the time! I've just redone mine to incorporate my new savings pots, and given myself a new limit of spending money per month... should be interesting!
lol. I used to spend what ever was left, but not anymore!
