Hmmmmmmmm What am I doing here???

Well thanks to having to move twice in 6 months I had run up my credit card a wee bit.

Managed to get a 0% for 6 months through my bank, so I have 6 months to clear it, then I hope they will allow me to transfer another card whose 0% deal runs out in July.

So Balance on cc1 @0% 1133.00 I am paying this off at £200 a month. It should finish in May with a final payment of £300.

Balance on cc2 @ 0% which runs out in July £1829.72 I pay £60 a month on this. £60 has gone out onto this card today so the balance is £1769.72.

This is the card I want to switch when the 0% deal runs out in July, then I will pay £260 on this until its cleared. Hopefully before next Christmas.

I had applied for a Barclays 0% card but was knocked back, I think because I had £6,600 limit on my old Tesco card. I have asked Tesco to reduce it to £1000, although I do not intend to use it, its hidden in a locked box in the safe.
