    Hi may I join the challenge please? I have a huge barclaycard debt that I have just made the minimum payment on for ages but I started making additional payments this month and this thread may help motivate me to attack it quicker! So far this month I have paid an extra £110 by upping my DD by my most recent pay rise amount and I have some extra odds and sods to add next time I log on....

    That's what I'm hoping! I've put off paying it back for so long because I just kept thinking that I could do big chunks 'one day'. I realise now even 50p at a time can only help the situation!!!

    Oh my I am sorry, I was about to go to bed when I suddenly remembered I hadn't dropped by here yet! I am slacking, I need an MSE kick up the bum! Especially since we did so well yesterday with PADs of £1122.67.. Special mention to Dizzy I hope all this preventative work will be worth it!!
