    Afternoon!! £7.13 for me today.

    I had a fab eBay sale yesterday but I am doing the Make £10 a Day challenge, so I'm going to save it up and hopefully make a big PAD at the end of the month!

    Can I sheepishly return please?

    I was in the challenge earlier this year but due to planning my wedding and going on honeymoon I seemed to have fallen off the wagon.

    I used to owe on 3 different credit cards and a car loan. But I wanted to get all debt into one place so last week I took out a Virgin credit card 0% for 30 months (on both balance transfers and money transfers)

    I didn't get quite a big enough limit to transfer everything but almost.

    I paid off my car loan today using the cash from the money transfer.

    So now I'm back with the following to pay off:

    Virgin: £10,579
    Lloyds: £3,928

    For the Virgin card I've set the direct debit to £370 a month, that will clear it in 28 months so just going to leave that one for now.

    Going to focus on extra payments to Lloyds and today I sent £1.80
