  • NO. 127 reporting in. Well I have done my big money shift around as it is my half yearly pay day and I have paid off £6428.77 making a total of 23,368.03 73.03% :j:j:j:j:j

    It also means that we are down to our last CC debt :D

    I am very pleased about that I have now paid off over 90% of our CC debt at its highest :eek:

  • No 158 doing fist check in:
    A grand total of 750 paid off this month (so far - hoping to have more left over at end of month from some NSDs). Also switched highest credit card over to 0% card so feeling quite smug overall :)
    Excuse my bad maths but does that mean I've pid off 8.4% of my debt??
