  • Month one has seen me save £34.82 in my virtual pot and £17.81 extra to my credit card - so effectively have saved £52.63 in total - really chuffed with that:D

    Another £5 today as BFs rent/bills money has gone in, so I paid my full CC balance and then rounded down my bank balance into the pot. Signature updated. At this rate I might be re-revising my target AGAIN but we'll see ;)

    it makes sense to add it to wherever is charging the most interest, those are the ones to clear first. its nice to think of the day you will have paid those suckers off ..xx

    out of the 3 cards DH's is in the middle of the highest apr rates only my cap one is higher but the balance on that is now only £50 so that will be paid off with my normal payments before they raise the rate, roll on november 2010 and they will all be clear was december 2010 so pleased it is becoming earlier. sometimes though i wish i could actually remember what we bought with the cards to rack up the debt :mad:
  • Added another £8.96 to my pot today as there was that in excess from my salary going into my bank account so my total is now up to £40.11 :)
