Number 129 reporting in again.
I paid off the remainder of my barclaycard today, so that one has finally bitten the dust.
I also had the monthly £100 standing order come out for the bank of Scotland card, so that one is £100 down. I could clear it, but it would leave me a bit tight for the next two weeks until payday so going to sit on it and put the cash down a bit later in the month.
Totals to update muppets are barclaycard cleared (£767.15) and bank of Scotland paid £100, so £604.74 remaining.0 -
Hi Muppets and everyone,
First payment for Feb of £500, bringing my totals to:
#79 £3,800/£8,470 44.86%
Once all this debt is gone, I am going to try and reduce the hours I work in the business to 30 or so hours a week. I don't do "shopping therapy" anymore, even at the supermarket. I saw a top today, quite nice, made in China, £28 on sale. Mmm, I think I can do without a £28 top. Yet there was a time, and not so long ago, within the last 5 years where I would have just bought it and put in on the card.0 -
