    Just paid £150 off one of my credit cards. I need £12 to get it under £2600 so I am going to list some bits on Facebook/eBay tonight to raise £12. £2599 will give me something positive to focus on.

    Dropping by to say I think you!!!8217;re doing great!
    As you!!!8217;ve mentioned, if hubby can take the 4th grocery shop for a short time while you fire through some debt, that will be a big weight. There!!!8217;s a big difference in your take home pay so I!!!8217;m sure it will be manageable for him.

    I laughed out loud at your hair appointments haha, no need to share. I!!!8217;ve got you!!

    Good luck!! I!!!8217;m sure you!!!8217;ll do great :-)
    £20 a day in May £41/£620 (previously £661/£600)

    Thank you for being so friendly! I am glad you understood about my hair expenditure!! Yes, it will help a lot if he takes over the 4th grocery bill. I better ask him...

    I spent £1 on a sandwich today and £1.10 on a snack for my child.
    Sold one thing on Facebook for £3.
    Can’t wait for the day when this debt is cleared.

    Well done - you are doing great. It's a super hard slog. At least now when you do spend your money you appreciate it!

    Do you do any tilly tidying? It's where you sweep any pennies into a pot and then add that as an extra payment to your debt - it means you can feel like you are having an impact on a daily basis. Helps me when I am so sick of waiting for payday!
