    Morning everyone,

    Welcome to all newcomers. I've not been on for a while so thought i'd catch up a bit. Kinda fell off the wagon last wk. Had to find an extra £200 to pay an unexpected bill so ended up having to use my cc (the one i'd cleared!) for food shopping and a few other bits n bobs (had to buy new work clothes for OH). My cc now has a balance of £200ish quid so i'm not happy. Saying that if i'd of cut it up or closed the account we'd of had no food and my OH would of been going go work flashing his undercrackers to the world so unfortunately needs must. Due to this i'm revising my plans. Again. I've since cut up the card and hope to have it payed asap and i'm going to continue to make small overpayment to my other debts. Baby steps for me from now on so i dont get in over my head again.

  • Hey all!

    Not been on in a while cos I'm always working to pay these debts. Not made much headway lately but I paid £110 to Egg card yest so will update sig when that comes off. Will try and make a bigger overpayment next month when my earnings should be higher!
  • Making great headway now, might even try to get rid of M&S. Woo hoo great challenge.
