My debt currently is;

Egg (Limit - £500) 17.9% - £0
Capital One (Limit - £3,000) 16.9% - £0
Morgan Stanley (Limit - £1,915) 5.9% - £1,557.41
American Express (Limit - £2,900) 4.9% - £2,129.45
Barclaycard (Limit - £1,750) 4.9% - £1,434.68
Tesco Loan 6.7% - £11,039.09
Alliance & Leicester O/D (Limit £500) 0% - £292.43

Total: - £16,453.06


However, I've just made a £500 payment to Morgan Stanley! :j Also got the £32 monthly payment to come off so will be very close to being sub £1,000! :doh:

But it does mean I would have broken into the £15k's!

I can't wait until it's sub £15,000! And then sub £10,000! I feel like I'm on the bend approaching the home straight. The finishing line isn't quite in sight, but I know it's only around the corner. And it feels good.

This month and next month are gonna be expensive though! Got car tax and insurance this month. So looking at about £600, hopefully with £100 cashback. Then in October I've got a wedding to go to and really need a new suit! :rolleyes: Plus a weeks holiday that I can't bloody wait for. But thats all paid for and my spending money is sat in my loose change bottle ready to be counted and banked!

Well done you :j :j

You've come a long way SS ~ you should be proud of yourself

Wow, SS - you're doing wonderfully. Look at how long it took me to pay off sub-£7k on 0% interest and glow with a sense of achievement. Hopefully, all the hard work you've been putting in on our behalf will swell your coffers in a couple of months' time and offset some of the car and other expenses you've got to pay now. Is it worth taxing your car for 6 months to distance it from your insurance payment? I did that a few years ago and found it helped, then the next time I taxed it for a year.

Well done.
