    Inspired by this I've just sent £5 to a debt.

    Will do a proper update after next week's pay day payments go out.

  • Well done Bestlifenow. Last year I waited until the end of the month until I paid to debts but sometimes the littlebits andbobs were eaten up in life - paying the window cleaners - milkman etc. It all helps.

    Paid another £15 sold on e bay.
