    Extra £5 paid Friday.
    The 'extra payment a week' challenge - this week £220, total in 2016 £936.32.
  • I'd like to join please :) I love the idea of the Friday Fiver and will aim to update on a Friday. I owe B/C £9,800 at the last count and would love the extra motivation to tackle it more quickly xxx
  • One question for those also in thrall to the dreaded B/C - they don't count the little extra payments off your monthly DD do they? I'd like to be paying extra on top of my usual payment...
  • Hi all, sorry I've been MIA. For those who don't know, my DH had a severe brain injury as a result of a motorbike accident almost 5 years ago and we've had a dodgy couple of weeks. Sorry for neglecting the thread.

    Welcome EmilysBunny and Debtfreedolly. Dfd, I'm also clearing Bcard and the extra payments haven't affected my direct debit. In saying that though, I have my dd fixed for a set amount each month. If yours is set for minimum payments it might be worth asking them directly Xx
    Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
    Best win so far - holiday to Florida

    That's good to know, mine is set above the minimum now :)
  • It's Friday but I've no internet access! Will have to remember I owe BC a Friday fiver!!!
  • Where has everyone gone? Drowning in chocolate Easter eggs??!!

    I just paid a rather brilliant extra payment of £1240 which when it clears will make me debt free (except mortgage). :j:j.

    From now on I'm going to save up my extra payments each week into a savings account, so I'll still be here Xx
