    Well martin was on gmtv this morning saying that the card is rubbish anyway!

    I've made a little payment of £8.10 this morning. I much prefer doing just a little but everyday so I can seer the balance going down regularly.

    That brings my totals to;

    Loan £11332.98
    Forma £1199.89
    Overdraft £1500

    Total debt now £14032.87
    Paid off so far £646.40.

    Still on target fo being sub 14k by the end of this week.


    Thanks Laura, you cheered me up :D

    What's your secret to all the little extra payments (if you don't mind me asking)? Are ebaying stuff? I've listed a few more things this morning and decided to go back to doing extra work. Not best paid for the extra I do but it's something. Did half an hour last night (was very tired), but its extra and it'll hit my account next week. As soon as it does I'll transfer it straight to the debt.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Just that I keep transferring little bits here and there so there's still some in the bank jyst in case. Also Because i'm on benefits I get paid on three different days; CB, IS then TC tuesday, wednesday and thursday. If there's an odd 3.78 or whatever in the bank that I can't draw out (trying to not use my cards this month) then I shift that accross as well. It really makes a difference!

    Evening all, my total still hasn't really moved but am waiting for payments to come in from matched betting so that i can put them into the savings account for when the 0% credit cards are due. Did a mystery shop today and have been busy doing my usual little things, slice the pie, daily clicks and surveys. Unfortunately due to the fact i was really ill last week I've fallen behind on all my studying so should really be doing that instead of this, despite wanting to be on here!

    Nice to see everyones totals increasing, looks like were all on target to meet this challenge.

    Another 2.20 added to my total. Profit from an Amazon sale.

    Well, another £30 from me from matched betting profits, i have another £95 to come in so am looking forward to that and have requested payments from other sources so will update when i receive them. However my car is going in for its MOT tomorrow so depending on how that goes depends on how much i have to save.
