    Hi everyone

    I've just paid another £50 off the credit card. I bought theatre tickets for me and a group of friends, so everytime I receive re-payments from them I've been paying it directly off the card. I'm very pleased with myself for doing this because it's so tempting to keep it and spend it instead!

    Off to update signature to reflect this.

    Happy weekend!

    Paid off another £120 yesterday, taking me to £811.83/£6000 paid.

    Just out of interest, is everyone putting in just what they are paying towards their debts, or are they working out how much their debt has reduced by once interest is taken into account? I am putting in what I am paying- my debts are certainly not reducing by the same amount :mad:

    I'm only putting in what I'm paying off-I will see how much interest I saved by the end of this year but that doesn't count here.
  • I'm only including payments that aren't paying interest - mostly because my debt should be paid in August/September and I want it to tally up with my amount paid on this thread.
