FlacosFloozie

This week £15 off an online grocery shop has gone to the emergency fund and £5 bank account reward to the deposit fund.

£6.41 paid to Bcard. Usual Friday Fiver plus this months interest (:mad: Because I didn't manage to clear it before the 0% ran out!).

Hope everyone is doing well! Enjoy your last week before the schools are out for summer xx

Hi - How do I join? I have been trying to do this to pay off my student overdraft and have managed to get it down from £1200 to £210.09 since January - so I would like to join.

Just jump right in Money Minx! Welcome and congrats on paying down your overdraft so much already :T.

You can use this challenge however it suits you. Personally I make an extra payment every Friday, and keep a record in my signature, but it's very flexible in what you want to do Xx

I am chuffed that I added up all the little extra payments I made in June and paid over £70 so am very happy with that as things are very tight at mo. All the little bits adding up. Paid in £5 today in change so paid that to cc and made another little payment to other cc.

Have made a plan off action to target a specific cc now I can see how each little bit adds up

Completely agree! That's why I try to keep a running total for the year in my signature - even though it makes my head hurt to do the maths :rotfl:

A couple of tidy up sweeps from me this week - £2.55 and £5.50 off the Ll0yds CC.

£25 sent to the cc this week

A midweek extra payment of £25 off debts thanks to eb@y profit. Brings my total this week to £31.41, and has clicked my yearly total over £400 .

I rounded down the bank account moving the princely sum of £3.78 over to the extra payments account and have this wk paid £12 on one cc and £8 on another. :j

I reduced my credit limits on both verry and n*xt which even though not extra payments has made me feel in control and means I have saved myself the option of a possible extra £9250 in debt :eek: :T

Weighed in some old clothes not worthy of eb@y, and got £5.19. Sent £5 to Bcard.

Rounded down my bank account today and paid a wee £7.08 to my Halifax credit card.
