Well done Skintas!

I paid off my MotherCare card which was about £250.00 and I also paid about £50.00 off my Capital One card so I managed it too!

Have you joined emilys new challenge? Pay off 3 debts by Christmas. I find the challenges really help to keep me motivated.

Well i had a good go and have about 150 to pay on my barclaycard.When i think at the beginning of month over 500 am i well pleased with myself. I would have made it as i have 240 pending in quidco payment for beginning of sept but i need that for spending money for spain in 2 weeks. Althought 200 was my target so will through the 40 at that. I hope to get the rest paid before my hols and then start again.
well done everyone
