    Sneaking in with an "extra" extra payment of £260.44 today. Hoping to see a real change in the level of debt by the end of this year :)
  • I've fallen by the wayside over the last 3 weeks. I finally got all my credit card debt onto 0% but then had to buy prescription glasses using my credit card so now have another credit card on the go. On the positive side I have made £57.10 in extra payments this week.

  • DH's mobile phone bill came in £6.55 under the budgeted amount so I transferred £6.55 to the EF. Every little helps. EF total now stands at £1206.68.

    Another £88.09 o/p to the loan today. I could've put more towards it, but was getting nervous that some of my savings pots had nothing or very little in them, so, amongst others, topped the car & house insurance pot up as both are due in December and now have enough to cover them. :)

    I've just cancelled website hosting which I no longer need and was told the rest of the year will be refunded, so as soon as I have that, it's going on the Halifax CC!

  • Not pathetic at all Blubella! It all adds up and if it's paid off a card that is charging you interest then it's worth more too Xx

    An extra £149.44 paid off the loan today and £38.15 o/p to CC1 to get it down to under £3k.

    Need to pay this down more than ever now as found out yesterday I'm at a risk of redundancy within the next few months. :(
