    Small update of £56.06, which comprises of a regular S/O to my card plus an ickle overpayment.

    Just added another £220 payment to CC as I wanted total debt repaid to reach 15%...been feeling a bit deflated that it's taking ages to make a real dent. Beans on toast for a while again, I guess.

    #85 £3751.06/£25,000 = 15%

    I've transferred some of my Tesco credit card over to Halifax which is interest free for 21 months. My debt has gone up slightly but this will even out as I'm not paying as much interest. Also made a small payment off Argos.

    I know that feeling :(

    With that in mind I have rejigged my finances and have thrown my savings at this debt, so....£2061.35 paid today...

    New total #85 £5812.41/£25,000 = 23.25%

    Got a feeling next month might be a bit tight.
