Forgot to add, My mother gave me £40 in clubcard vouchers cos i think she felt bad about me getting into more debt cos of my relative, so will be money saving there too, so the difference in cash will also be going off my card!

Hi all!!

So, I received one of my credit card statements today! It turns out I overestimated the interest I had to pay, yay! That, along with a small payment today brings my total debt down to €11,856.81!!

New total: €196.26/€12,051.15

Keep debt busting peeps!!!

And I am the person who gets all the way to the checkout before wondering how all those things leapt in there and leaves a stack of random stuff by the self-checkout machine...

Paid off all the min amounts on my CC's. Hopefully will have a few pennies spare to throw at one of them. Need to look at which one will be best to snowball. Will update totals on next statement date though. Thanks for letting me join and good luck everyone GTS xxx
