    ty :) - I never thought paying off money would get me so excited, the only thing that annoys me is that if I hadn't been careless I would have all this extra money now that I could do things with!

    Hi All,

    I paid another £23.98, that was all that was left on my natwest card and i've been desperate to pay it off all day, may have left myself a little short this month now but ill do it!

    My Natwest Credit Card has gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D :j :D :j :D :j

    Now must get back into the challenges next month and clear Next, they've been charging me about £6 per month recently not happy about it!:eek:

    Woot on clearing Natwest but :mad: to Next - what are they charging you £6 for? Just having the card?

    Ah but now you are getting used to not just spending everything you can start salting the cash away for treats!

    A quick question for Mizmir....

    This is our first month paying the mins on our 0% cards as we're saving the rest of our income to pay off the car loan in one lump sum. My question is do I include the savings for the car loan as a debt repayment or should I give you the total once the debt has cleared? Our car loan is currently £2912 (before pay day) and we hope to clear it in a couple of months.

    Thanks in advance

    Entirely up to you DFi2009 - whatever is easiest for you!

    Wow - all these cards tumbling - fantastic! And welcome to our new joiners - good luck with your targets and don't forget to update us regularly or our total paid will never reach our total owed!

    Since last update I have paid off £17.62 but am planning some stuff for February!
