    Getting really itchy feet about posting again although I've absolutely nothing to report since last time - sorry everyone.

    But I had a sort out this morning and listed a load of stuff on fleabay, fingers crossed it sells. Also have some jewellery I should sell as I never wear it. That would go straight to the debt.

    So I can only report what I already reported a couple of weeks ago:

    #98 paid £2565/£7565 (so £5000 left).

    i haven't been here for a while but I will try to sort my figures out tonight. I'm struggling since Halifax started charging daily rate for overdrafts. I used to pay about £30 a month and I was chipping away at it. Over the last few months I've paid £57 for the same agreed overdraft I've never gone over it, any ideas how to sort it. I can't afford to pay it off it's £1700 and I got it down to average £1400 now it's back up.
