I have paid another £22.49 off my total.
Decided that I'm going to update on 27th of each month and base it on balance of my statements, I get too confused with interest amounts otherwise.
I will add any additional payments I am able to make, though these will be few and far between, as I make them as they are a bonus. Now I see just how easily I got into this mess!LBM 03/07 £44k:eek: DFD 31/12/17 :A 12/17 £2545.50
Credit Card £2500.00 & Next £45.00
Savings = £81.21 & Help To Buy ISA = £4700.000 -
I have today sent a payment of £500 to my credit card company. This is a monumental day for me because this stupid, dratted, draining, depressing, etc, etc, credit card is now: CLEARED!
I have one less debt to worry about and it just feels sooooooo good.
Once again thanks to Dragon and everyone else here and at the £10 a day thread for inspiration and support. :beer:0 -
