Hi all,
When calculating my debt and totals, I never included my overdraft figure as I dipped in and out of it without really thinking. I have today agreed with my bank to reduce the overdraft on a monthly basis down to zero, so have decided to now include this in my figures. Every little helps!0 -
Another £97.41 off my CC todays that takes me under £52K I am looking forward to when it starts with a 4.

Hi richestorags, I did exactly the same thing with my overdraft started with £1200 overdraft and reduced it by £100 a month, now its gone. Hopefully you'll get rid of yours in no time. Good luck!.Mortgage £25,789.17/£24,918.14/£22,921.47

That's funny, I had already decided that i was going to do that overdraft trick myself. I've been hoping that it will sort itself out without me trying, but it doesn't appear to be! LOL. So I'm going to try for £100 a month too. Won't include it in my total until it's all gone, as I may well dip into it again and it would be depressing to have to take money off my 'paid' total.
I've also got a flexiloan with my bank which is being paid off automatically each month and I hadn;t been including it, but I think I will now as I haven't used it for about six months, so I don't think I'm going to need it. Off to update sig!0 -
