    £5 bank account reward from me this week. Now going to savings as the cc is paid off :D

    I honestly don't think the amounts I pay are as important as the fact that I pay something. I've been doing this challenge for a couple of years now (thanks Lucky) and I think the act of finding the extra is what kept me focused on debt busting.


    Some weeks its been a big amount from tax rebates and some its been a few pence from a supermarket voucher or bank account skin but its all added up and kept me going.

    Good morning you saving savvy people.

    Tiny little payment for me today. £1.01 to my Argos card. Pretty pathetic but my wages were poor this month after being off to take care of my son as he was off with D&V. Joy.

    Anyway, thought I would stop by and share. EPs will be better next month. Done so much overtime and BHs at double time. My pay slip will be ever so beautiful and my numbers will be coming Dow.

    It's always annoying working the bank holidays when everyone else seems to be having a good time but, if you get overtime, the extra pay is worth it.

    Bank holidays dont bother me to be honest. Everywhere is always packed and I think I'm a mild agoraphobic so staying out of public places suits me to the ground. The overtime will make it all worth while as I intend to put the majority of those earnings towards my debts. The leftovers for my bday.

    Oops - nearly forgot to update for last week's payment. Just a small payment of £5.89 made as money is a bit tight at the moment.
