    Hi Dragon please deduct £250 from me this month which clears my cc and means i now only have to chip away at the bank of mum (interest free ):jThis is the biggie though as i have been in debt to her for many many years without ever managing to pay it off so really determined to do it this time and sure i will with everyones support.
    Thanks for starting this is has made me really focus and seeing the totals going down is very inspiring.

    PS got a star so happy yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Well done you!! And welcome to the No Credit Card Club. I joined a couple of weeks ago. And I hope to become an honorary member due to life long distinguished service!

    And aren't mum's great. I owed my mum some money, about a grand, and she let me off. She's fab. And then she gave each of my siblings a grand as well to make it fair. She's double fab, especially considering I'm one of five!
    Big cheers for mums. :beer:

    Hi,

    Have paid off £800. Think that works out at 4% of my target of £20000??

    Hi,

    Just had an awful feeling of dread that I hadn't paid enough or was late with my barclaycard cc payment. Sick of worrying about it getting stung for late payments so decided to pay it off with a bit of cash in an ISA.

    Not sure if I paid the right one off?

    Anyway so that means I have paid off another £497 , total £1297. I think that works out to be 6.33 % of my target.

    Best wishes, Heather
