  • Well Done Kirsty....that's fantastic!!

    Paid another fiver onto the Credit Card...I want it GONE!!

    Thank you DreamerHelen!! :)

    I paid £60 towards my Debenhams acc today, thats a big extra £55 more than I would normally pay in a month. I want this one cleared by end of May so I can concentrate on my big credit card balances!
    Even better that I got paid early so this extra £60 I have paid is just days before my next statement is generated so even less interest to pay, I will have to make another payments towards it later in the month to cover April's actual payment... :)

    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.

    Welcome! You'll be amazed at how much it adds up to and how addictive it all gets! Xx

  • £50 extra for me today! I got paid an extra £35 so thought I'd send it to Bcard, along with £15 from a bank account tidy up.

    Welcome Maisie!

    £12.70 this week. I've been off work with some annoying bug, so I've ploughed the saved travel and other costs into my barclaycard. Every cloud and all that ;)
