    As the interest drops, the amount to find will drop as well and I will then reduce this on my signature (as reduced interest doesn't count as random extra payments) - it all makes perfect sense in my head any way! :D

    OMG a friend of mine has just offered to see if I can move my Lloyds balance to her Virgin card as it's clear at the moment!!!

    She is going to ring and see if she can get a 0% and what the transfer rate is.

    Fingers crossed she can get a deal for me everybody!

    It's on 16.8%, should save me a couple of £100 at the least.

    I would carry on clearing this if it moves to free the card up for her again, as she is also debt busting.

    The only downside is the transfer fee would probably mean I won't go under £10k.

    Will just have to wait and see what happens now!

    How much would a 0% deal save you?

    She is a very good friend, she is the one I brought a house with (she brought me out when her OH moved in), my name is still on the deeds at the moment though - so we have a hell of a lot of trust in each other!
