  • I am getting a bit confused here..is this making payments or actual capital?? Just wanted to clarify..sorry if it is my muddled brain.

    Just recieved my first ever payment from Amazon for two books sold - all of £18.72! Sent it straight to barclaycard. Siggy updated. It feels really good - normally that would just have got lost in my overdraft, but this month I'm being really strict, especially with Christmas hovering to hoover up spare cash...
  • right i've worked out my normal monthly payments.

    £25 to cc, £52 to loan and mortgate payment makes £231 difference to my balance (god that's low) so that means i pay £308 a month as it is, so need to up it by another £609 a month to make my target.

    I'm going to pay them off in
    O/D (costing me £5 a month)
    CC (interest free until march)
    Loan finishes in august anyway so that £52 will go towards the others left
    and then the biggy morgate extra payments!!

    I already over paid my cc this month so that brings my total to £358 already!!
