    Someone at work needed change for the car park.......so I raided my change jar and gave him £10 of shrapnel in return for a £10 note.....went downstairs to the bank immediately and paid it straight off the egg card......

    So, another £10 bites the dust....and for no real effort really!

    Hi everyone,
    thanks for the warm welcome everyone. After re jiging my finances i think its deffinately possible for me to pay £1000 off my catalogue by xmas. I've also got a sealed saving tin, not sure how much is in there (i know theres at least £80 so far), was thinking of waiting till its full and using that to go towards my bills too to give it an extra boost.

    Can I please join? I have a £3000 Virgin CC debt that I am currently paying £150 off per month. If I up that to £300 I should have £1800 off by Christmas. That leaves me then another 5 months to clear the remaining £1200 before the 0% runs out.

    So can you put me down for £1800? :D

    spam.jam - I'm quite amazed at how much you've got in your sig! :eek: Wish I could fit more in mine.

    So that's £1400 - minus £310 - leaving £1090 to clear :)
