Morning all.
I have been spending a lot of time the past few days looking at my finances and have realised I only have £80 and a few pence to pay to clear of a card which could then be closed. I will hopefully have some extra money come in towards the end of the month which will cover it but I REALLY want to get rid of it now.
I do have £58 free on a 0% balance card which I can transfer to until the middle of march and just pay off the rest but I will still have the debt.
Shall I just pay it and go ultra frugal for the month. It's about time I got my mojo back with being tightfisted. I did it on maternity pay and can do it again.
It's this threads fault. I want to beat it this time. Decisions.........?
Calling14 I have just noticed how close you are to achieving the target. Fantastic.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%

Ignore the previous innane waffling. I paid it off, I couldn't help it. The figures were crunched and I could cover it. So my new figure is...

One card down....woo hoo. Four more to go.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%

Parsniphead thats brilliant. So there will be two of us living off crumbs by the end of the month.
Paid off 135.00 today 865/910. 45 pounds to go:j
Hopefully can clear it next week. First time on here I will have been successful clearing my target.:beer:
Will start on cc2 then as I need to clear that by May.:( So will still be here

So near Calling14. I find it really motivatingnwhen I see others making a dent.
I have plenty of fat to keep me going. Crumbs will be a top up. It's not only the cash pounds that need sorting here.
I have just called and closed my L#ma card. I hate using the phone so have been building up to it all morning. I feel so good now it's done.
Right I have work to do and money to make. If I do get made redundant this part time business is going to be my lifeline.1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%
