£20 off the Barclaycard yesterday, OH took something back and got a refund of £49.99 on the Asda card last week, so that's come off the balance on that. Just paid £11.65 off the Asda card now and am transferring the remaining £400 to my new Capital One card (0% for balance transfers!) which I hope to have paid off by July.

£220.27 paid today. That's my overtime from last month. I'll hopefully have much more than that at the end of this month but not going to get too excited until I see how much overtime I manage to rack up :j. We rarely get in hence the excitement :rotfl:. Now sitting at £853.39 / £6,0005 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Total for January £909.99/£10000 - slightly ahead of target
although it would have been nice to have paid off a £1000
Target for this month will be £1000 plus which I think is definitely doable as I am due some overtime payments and again no council tax to pay
First payment for Feb is £250 to nationwide
Total to date is £1159.99/£10000
I am going to round the amount off over the weekend and try to make all my payments round numbers for the month0 -

Hi all - Got figures of hubby for the amount paid off his card and car payment and he has cleared both which was £500

so £837/8815 :j
Payments going a bit slow as we have booked a holiday so need to save to pay it off - the kids will love it though so I am gonig to think positively as it is nice to be able to afford it for a change.
