Feeling good that I have taken three taxi rides this week - work paying so not costing me - but good to know it is helping someone.

Have got £210 to add to my total - £50 birthday money from last week and £160 for a course I am running at the weekend - should get a bit more on the day too. Cheques will be paid in tomorrow!

Well done everyone for some great totals.

Hi all and welcome to all the new people joining in.

Not posted for ages so thought I would update. I had to increase my overdraft :mad: but getting the money back next month. I have also written to my credit card companies. Not happy with just cutting up the cards I am writing to them to close the cards and continue paying until the balance of each one is clear, plus it prevents any fraudsters using my cards AGAIN!!!!

One bit of good news.... I PASSED MY MOTORCYCLE THEORY TEST YESTERDAY!!!!!

I cant wait to take the practical test which hopefully will be in the next month or 2 and then I can save loads of money not having to use my car everyday.

Going to do a full update at the end of each month as thats when I get my statements through the post.

hello, I am still here, but can never find the thread I am reasonably sure I joined at the beginning, only managed to pay off about 1800 pounds so far, so am way behind!

I am on the e bay case and also Avon - extending my area. I have hope that I am going to make it!

I will now go back and read some of the posts!

good luck everyone
