    Well, have paid a fantastic £288 off the CC this week ... Not entirely on purpose :rotfl: - I was trying to pay off the CC I use for work expenses and wasn't concentrating, so it went off the debt instead, and I had to raid my savings pot to clear the expenses CC - even though I was grumpy at the time, it's lovely to see the bit CC debt come down so much! :T

    And yes, I do know,about Martin's advice re. clearing debts with savings, but the debts are at 0% and the savings are getting a minuscule interest rate but every little helps! This time round, when the 0% deal ends in September (and assuming my car doesn't blow up :() I might even be able to just clear the debt, which would be the first time I've actually managed to clear a debt within the 0% period :T:T

  • Been very sensible with my money the last week of this month, so I've managed to transfer £80 across today. I'm starting a second job tomorrow, where I'll get paid fortnightly so that should help me along nicely with this goal :j

    Aw thanks [Deleted User], it's just a job at McDs but every penny helps and the hours will fit in nicely with my main job. What job did you apply for? Good luck with your application, will keep my fingers crossed that you're successful x
