    £130 payment made this month. New totals

    42. Newlifeahead - £2607.03 / £11,645.30

    I just can't get to make any overpayments this year. It has been a real struggle. I will be lucky if I even get to half of my target with the way things are going.

    Never mind a little down is better than up :)

    Lloyds CC - £3102.54 / £3071.51
    B'Card - £7615.65 / £7444.30

    Well done everyone. Keep going! June seems quiet too Jwil but I guess people are doing summer holidays about now. I know that's sucking up my money at the moment. Better than putting it on a card though!
