Id definately do this.There has to be a reward for doing so well :T
I have a wish list of stuff I want.When I have spare cash I will check my list to see if theres anything I can afford to treat myself too or whether to pay off a little more debt
Good Plan!!!
Ive just signed up with pigback and i tend to spend a lot on amazon - probably £20 ever other month so im thinking that if i can get through to next month i will just buy some things from Amason and get my piggy points and use fag money therefore not spending anything.
But that said i have got course books to buy soon so might put it in a jar and use it for books

Never too late.You could still aim for Dec or what ever date you wish for.It's a personal challenge.We all have different aims.Some have figures to Aim for and others are just trying to fill the pot.

Thanks shelley,
I didn't think it could be done, and I'm glad I got my head around the fact that I had debts, that I was just ignoring, it really does feel good to think that soon (hopefully) Ill be working for me, and not just handing my wages over to some faceless institution, that doesn't give a t*ss whether your in debt or not, from now on if I can't pay cash I don't need it, and it's all down to the support & inspiration that this site offers. Everyone in work is sick of hearing moneysavingexpert.com from me. I'm just glad I stumbled across it, all I need now is for the reclaim case to find in our favour & myself & DW will be better off to the tune of nearly £7K. So a BIG THANK YOU

Good for you Shelley
It does feel good when you see the total going down, there's no way in a million years I thought I'd pay £800 odd pounds off a debt in 1 month. Will have to go now & get ready to go home, I can hear the cork on a bottle of vino popping to celebrate this milestone (any excuse really lol).
Good night
