Hello
You will notice that like most people in debt I have my debt free date at the bottom of each post.
Well today I have just cleared one of my visa cards :j
I now only have one left :j
So any one out there feeling crap about debt just keep going with your head down.
With this credit card I tried a different tact, as well as my D/D for min payment whenever I get paid I split my wages bw various debts but just on this card I check my bank balance the day before I get paid and whatever ( if any) is left in the account I send to my visa- last month I sent £1.55
I have just added up all the little extra payments I have made over 6mths & I paid an extra £90. :j And every bit helps. :T
