  • Hi All

    OH got paid today so we have sent another £735 to the credit card and this pays it off totally. This takes my total for the month to
    £920/£9000. I am really happy with the start I have made!:j

    Morning

    Just sent another small overpayment of £20 to EGG this morning after reading everyone's posts. We were going to go out for lunch today, and that would have been the £20 spent and would rather shrink the debt that increase my waistline!

    No. 17 - Lou06 = £839.51/ £8,500.00
    Pay off as Much as You Can Challenge 2011 £8.5K Jan '11 £1,901.80/£8,500.00
    Cracking the Egg Card @ 19.9% 16/12/10 = £3570.64
    MBNA @ 0% = £1,358.72

    I like pay day, you get to see larger chunks disappear, another £400 off NRAM loan, so;

    No 159. £1391.94/£14,949.81

    Usual payments and hopefully more over payments on the 1st of the month.
    Mar 11/Current: £14949.81/£0 100%
    NRAM: £9904.81/£0
    Northridge: £5557.87/£0

    what's the amount outstanding? is £100 a good percentage of it?


    I've done it! That's £632.65 paid off my total. And my total debt reduced by a further £95.73. :eek::eek::eek:

    Don't know why but this has made me feel rather stressed!!

    Well done on paying it off. Why are you stressed? Will it free up some extra cash on a monthly basis now? Getting rid of a debt can only be a good thing?

    I think it's because I've had my plan in place for so long, that anything outside of that is scary, even if it's paying something off early! I'm obviously a loon. Won't give me any extra cash, just means that I can pay more to the remainder of the debt each month. :o

    I'm now on over 36% though!
