    A whopping £320 paid off my Barclaycard today courtesy of OH getting a decent tax rebate. Need to find the last £1000 by end August when the 0% finishes. Getting there!

    That's really good Sun Addict!

    £6.14 for me. Need to nip into bank and speak about doing some rearranging.. I'm a bit shy about stuff like this but paying interest when I don't necessarily need to is silly so that's on the to-do list for the week!
    [STRIKE]Credit Card 17.9% = £460 paid off 2013[/STRIKE]!
    £1000 overdraft 0% = 0/£1000
    Owe parents for car = £410/£2950
    Owe SAAS £240/£548
    BF Lend £0/£200

    And I'm still pretending my student loan doesn't exist until I earn enough that they ask for it! :p

    Had to do a lot of fishing about this week as it's the week before payday, but managed to find £10 to spare. My Barclaycard has now gone under the £1000 mark to £990. Woo hoo!

    It's been about a year since I made any extra effort to clear my debts, although they've been gradually reducing. However, I'm back on the wagon today with an overpayment of £200 on the credit card.
