    At last! An extra payment made of £25 to the CC.

    My plan is to pay this extra every month to this card along with the min payment to get that balance down a bit quicker.

    Next extra payment will be after ebay sales, hopefully!

    I'm sticking to it! I'm determined to get that balance down.

    Will have another extra payment to this card next week once ebay sales come in

    My extra payment this week is from ebay sales.

    Transferred paypal proceeds to high rate CC and £70 paid off - getting close to bringing the balance below £2000 for the first time in 4 years.
