Have realised that the amount that I am paying out in DD to MBNA card that holds the majority of my debt is almost £300 less than I was paying to Natwest. Will have to increase the amount that I pay to MBNA to keep up the rate of debt clearance that I want to maintain.Natwest: £17940

Had to pay £560 on new car tyres which was very painful!
Should hear about whether I am going to be kept on as a full-timer this week so fingers crossed.
Managed to pay off an extra £50 off my Natwest card though!Natwest: £17940

Hi,
I know how you feel, I'm in a similar boat. I'm trying to keep my credit cards at 0% whilst I pay off a loan which should take 2 and a half years , I hope there are enough zero deals to keep shuffling them around. God I wish I'd never got in this position. It rules your life and is on the mind every day.
Good luck xxCredit cards and loan total at Jan 2016=£37599 :eek::eek::mad::mad::(:(0 -
Another £50 paid off my natwest at card. I am keeping up with the extra payment a week! It was also a whole weekend without spending as I was at Beaver Scout Camp helping as a leader.Natwest: £17940

Have been reassured that my job is safe for now which is a relief. It is however all a bit haphazard at work at the moment so I am still putting feelers out and there is a potential role that I may be able to fill.
Annoyingly I have today left my lunch at home!Natwest: £17940

I get paid this week which is always a relief. I am also seeing a new client this evening regarding some consultancy work that should earn me £500. Hopefully it will be a good week!Natwest: £17940

Have been totalling up my debt to see where I am.
