    Hi everyone.

    thought i would check in, finding it hard this year to sort things out with extra payments. does not help being on crutches and the fact that i am going to work on reduced hours is not helping matters. trying to keep positive but finding it hard. well done to everyone that is managing to do a little or a lot

    :(

    Hi everyone,

    I keep forgetting to put all my overpayments on here because I have a DFW diary but thanks to this thread I've cleared my catalogue, a nice big fat £0 balance and got my CC balance down from £2,717.05 to £895! So thank you xxx

    I love trying to make payments before the next lot of interest gets added on, it's an addiction every pound counts.

    Sorry been missing in action. dad taken into hospital last weekend seriously ill, nearly lost him, but his on a slow road of recovery, he will never be 100% to many health issues but his here and thats what counts, his mind is active enough but his body lets him down.

    I've made an overpayment of £5.17 on CC.

    I love this idea and have actually been doing this for a couple of months! I am working hard to clear my store cards before moving onto my credit cards...

    This month already I have done an over payment of £51.02 towards my Next acc.... want to have this cleared by end of next month and then onto my Debenhams acc which I am also doing over payments on and meeting min payments on my other three credit cards.

    I'm not sure what my over payments from been from previous months but my running total from March:

    £61.02....

    :)
  • Smiffy and jaxsmar, sorry to hear your news, hope all is as well as it can be soon.

    Congratulations Trixxi on such a fab debt reduction!

    Welcome Kirstydriver!

    Flacos and purple, well done for continuing your overpayments, keep plodding!

    £25 over payment for me today, made up in part from £15 extra in my wages in lieu of holiday pay. The card I'm currently overpaying now has a balance of £775 and the 0% runs out in July :eek:.

    Have a good week everyone!
