I've just paid £3.74 (rounding of my current account balance to the nearest fiver) to one CC just so I have something to reprt today
Cannot wait til all these payments clear so I can update sig!
Just waiting on a cheque from Envirofone clearing too, then I'll pay that towards a CC too.
Well done everyone This thread is really giving me the push I need x 0 -
Morning everyone!
Just wanted to update my sig as I have managed to pay £1000 that I owed to a friend. It is really a weight off my mind as it is horrible owing money to friends, I was getting really stressed about it cos I was worried that it was starting to affect our relationship but I think I have learned my lesson that I will never ever borrow from a friend again, friendship is more important than money. So PHEW!Pay off £30000 by Xmas 2009::j£11328paid/£18672 left :eek:0 -
well done tryingveryhard! bet it feels good to not owe that anymore!
I havent made any extra payments today but found out tesco cc have mucked up and got me on a 0% on both balance transfers and purchases till sept 09!! so that should make it easier to pay it of.... it was meant to be 0% on purchases till oct/nov this yr!!GC: Nov: £60.22/£450 Oct: £338.48/£450, July: £363.05/£450, June £447.98/£500£2 savers No68: £104/£100 :j:jmummy to: 8yr, 5yr, 3yr, 2yr, 1yr.

Arrggg! :mad: have locked myself out of my on-line credit card account and I don't have the number with me so I can't get it released. As this is the account I regularly overpay on, this is the figure I wanted most - very very frustrated :mad:
Went into my other account and it's asking me for the tenth letter of my password, it doesn't have 10 letters! What's going on?....Think I will go and rant in a quiet corner somewhere....Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30
Total debt today: £0 - debt and mortgage free 29th November 2013 :T

Well done everyone - Trying hard that is a fantastic amount to pay back, bet it makes you feel so much better
Nothing to add for me again, waiting for the payment for the car to go out. We will get paid our January pay on the 19th so ive decided to move the whole pay packet into my savings so i dont spend it all - im also going to strip any bonus that i get and put that into my savings for overpayments - just have to remember to save a bit extra for my car tax which is due in Feb 0 -
