A nice chunky £300 off Barclaycard. Happily I just discovered I have a month longer for the BC o% deal than I thought I did. So I have until 29 March to clear that card; there's just over £1,000 on it now. Will do my best! Really want to avoid any more balance transfers if possible.
Good news on the extra month, fingers crossed you get there!166million wrote: »Grr, my debt is probably going up soon by about £400. Have to borrow some money to get my car mended. When will it end!?!?!?
It's so frustrating isn't it, often feels like one step forward two back. One day we will be debt free and have money in the bank for emergenciesStudent_Mrs wrote: »:hello:Jwil and friendly others, could I join in please? I toyed between this one and pay all my debt but this makes more sense, I think.
A number of odd ones, altogether my hubby and I's debt is going to be £6640 I worked out so going to put that as my target and just for my notes in this order!
My Student OD - 0% to expire in May £1990
Credit Card - 17.5% currently paying 55/month onto this but dad (having started new 70K+ job) has suggested he may help me with some of this soon £1750
Joint OD - 11% 1200
Husband OD - 0% to expire in May 2014 £1700
making everything £6640 - I have just gone from employed to self-employed and we have found out we are pregnant, due end of Aug if all goes well so may not make £6640 once I get maternity allowance as hubby a student but who knows, it may help so would like that as target please
will update sig once i get my number - hehe!
Welcome to the challenge Student_Mrs, and congratulations on the pregancy :j :j Every overpayment you make now will help in the future, so good luck with the debtbusting"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do".

17 mmikailian = 289.57/£7000 = 6710.43
But on the plus side if they dont pay me I cant spend it all, more for Debts later on this year I will clear them!!
That's ridiculous that they keep messing you around. Hope it gets sorted soon. :mad:seasideDreamer wrote: »Rounded up a couple of Ebay payments so that's £16 paid off Virgin £41.00/£4065. So broke still after Christmas
