    i'm doing this as a kind of "round down" approach. Every week, I check my current account, and round it down to the nearest £5/£10 by transferring some to one of the credit cards. It makes a dent faster than you'd expect!

    That sounds like a good idea. I think I might start doing this :T

    Ok I did it as Monday is the end/start of my "financial" week so I've rounded down to the nearest £5 and paid ~£2.51 on the old cc.

    I've updated my sig.

  • well i have paid off another £10 so far i feel im making a difference and hopefully will be able to pay off bigger sums from April but every little helps as everybody on here keeps reminding me. This group has been an inspiration and at last i am doing something about the C.C`s.
    :T Total paid to date is £53.01:T.
    £5.00 + £53.01= 58.01 lets hope I can keep this up.

    Paid £60.00 off CC today which as there is no Council Tax this month and next month this would have been half of my CT money. Total looking better now.

    Keep going everyone looks like we are all doing really well x
