    #025 is £955/£28955

    Payments went out today (somethings I pay weekly) I sent an extra 83 just to I can get down to 28k. This was from a refund that took a while to come through.
    Got a few bits to sell so planning on doing this at the weekend.
    The amounts are actually $ but for ease they are £ on here :-)

  • Ah that's great news :) do any of the cards you are getting offer 0% money transfers? if so you could send some money to your bank and pay off next if you can clear it dependng on your limit? xx

    I thought about that tbh, I will need to wait for them to arrive I think to check but I certainly hope so at 22% it would be great to get that on 0% and just get rid, food for thought
    Thanks for your ideas and help xx
