  • Those are the minium payments on my card's I always pay more than that so the 279 surplus is more like 150 surplus.
    I'm luck/unlucky enough to live at home still so don't pay for groceries as such. I cut my hair myself so that costs nothing.

    Yeah I agree target the Halifax first working out on that snowball site I should have them all paid in 3 years, which I don't think is a bad target to set myself.

    3years sounds like a great target.

    Ok

    Concentrate on payimng every brass farthing off the Halifax card. If you ever get to the popint when the Barclays or Egg card have £15 spare capacity, make your next £10 spend on that card and then pay £10 towards the Halifax. You will slowly move the most expensive debt to cheaper cards.
