    Welcome everyone! Lovely to see returners and new faces. 2015 is going to be a great debt busting year!

    I did my monthly debt calculation this morning and it stood at £2755. Couldn't help but send an extra £5 to Bcard to make it a nice round £2750. Sad I know, but it's that kind of OCD behaviour that is helping me pay off the debt :D. 3 and a half years ago I owed £23k :eek:.
    I do this too, :o it soon mounts up, but that's not the reason I do it, it just irritates me to look at figures that aren't rounded off ;)

    Hi there - can I join please? Not sure if my additional payments will be to credit cards or into my savings account (maybe it'll be both) but want to aim for £250 by the end of the year.

    Woohoo! Skimmed the interest off my bank account and paid £12.26 to my B/C - a small start but a payment I would not have made before joining this thread!
