    Can i join please?

    I know you're a month in, but i'm due to have a baby at xmas and really need my O/D paid off before then!

    Was wondering whether to also join the pad challenge again as that really added up before too, but i'll start here and see how I go.

    I need to clear £1130 :eek: in 65 days
    Still here..... but working on that!

    I've been making payments I've paid £904.94 so far. Living on bare minimum for next few weeks no frills but the cc expenditure must go and I really need to replace the money I borrowed from my Xmas account.

    With half term round the corner I must reign myself in and find free things to do xx

    Have a great day everyone xx

    Bagged £10 in 20p today along with £20 in £2.

    Also found out my credit score actually went up this month (ok only 12 points but I was ever so chuffed!)

    Another £20 of the blooming next, so that makes it £58 off my £144 goal. Am really pleased I have joined this group and will Deffo be in for the next one.
    Take care all

    well I could have cried today when I realised I had a flat tyre turns out it was a screw embedded in it and its only about 4 months old but was smiling when I got home and opened a letter containing a £500 cheque that I completely wasn't expecting :):)

    So I've decided that I'm going to buy the new tyre and get some new glasses and then put the rest to the debt mountain :)

    I'm not classing this windfall as part of this challenge ....it just means that by completing this challenge, the debt that I was part clearing will be completely clear :)

    Good luck to all
