    Afternoon Everyone,
    Hope you are all well, and wrapped up against the chill, supposed to be dropping again tonight. The "Pot" is growing nicely & I've just paid over the minimum on 2 credit cards, to get the outstanding down, both 0% so I can see a dent in the outstanding total

    Well done sparky, it's great when we can actually see the amounts going down.I used to hate it when i made a payment then they added interest.It was very disheartening.Just given my pot a shake and a peek.I've nothing to put in it though :(

  • afternoon/evening peeps, hope we're all ok. Like sparky, I've paid over the odds on 2 credit cards today to get the balances down, and they're 0% too. My AQA earnings were going to make a huge dent in the crdit this month (to the tune of £600) BUT..... i move flat next week, and I've had to sort out removals etc. Still, at least I've paid for the removals outright and not on the credit card, and still got some left over to make a decent dent in the debt.

    I hate moving stunty.I moved in and out of alot of flats when I lived in Penzance, long before kids.I used to let my then fiance move us wile I was at work.I'd leave one place in the morning and go home to another after work.He didn't mind doing all the moving and would often have things arranged where I wanted them by the time I got in.When I think about it even when my marriage to him broke down and I left with the kids.I stayed in the marital home while he painted and decorated my new house then borrowed a van to take all our stuff.gosh I'm embarrassed now.Makes me sounds sooo lazy.:o

    Evening Stunty & Molly,
    Hope your both well, just done updates on the snowball calculator & I've managed to shave off £738 this month :T :T :T thanks to all the extra overtime I've done, really tired, but when I done the sums I felt very good about it, cleared one CC & shaved an extra £100 :j :j
    off another debt, I've also managed to start repaying money I owe to my (the bank of) Mum :A.


    Stunty is your new flat close to where you live now or further out of town? I couldn't do with the hassle of moving, done it once and that was more than enough for me.
