£175.00 extra payment paid off my tesco credit card... the 0% finished this month so I was determined to pay it off... :D:D:D
But.................. have I overstretched myself :eek: now do I keep the card hoping at a later date that I will be offered another 0% balance transfer...or cut the card up!.

Just a small payment towards my next acc, £4.75 to bring it down to £40 which I will clear Monday when I get paid!

Making my overpayments for March to £104.75!!

That's fantastic - wel done I knwo you'll be thrilled to see the back of it!


£66.94 extra/overpayment for me today. Was tempted to pay an extra hundred on top of that but I'm trying to save properly for the first time ever so transferred it to my savings acc instead!

jaxsmar, did you decide what to do with the card? Only you know whether having the card there will be a temptation for you.

kirsty, congrats on (almost) being rid of the Next card!

Hope, that must feel awesome that you are able to start building savings!

I've paid another £10 to Bcard today. £730 to clear before the 0% runs out. £500 will be cleared with my normal fixed payment amount, so I'm going to have to start upping the extra payments to clear the other £230, as £10 per week from now to then will 'only' be £140. Best get my thinking cap on! Xx

Hi all, amazing progress! Great work everyone!

End of the month account sweep means I'm paying in £80.10 this week. Still not quite sure how I managed to underspend so much, but it's really encouraging.

Hope you all get some sunshine this weekend! :cool2:

Hi all

I'd like to join you on this if I may. I do this most of the time and try and round up my payments anyway but would be nice to see how much this adds up to each month/year.
