Thanks for my number. How does it work with amounts, as my payments cover interest and not a huge amount of capital at the moment, so do I count how much the balances reduce by rather than how much I pay? In which case, I’m likely to only update once a month.Jan 2018 £68,274 May 1 2018 £59,537

Bigskies I count all payments towards the debt, even if interest is then added on top
Let’s just pretend I have not been alternately drowning in debt or only eating toast to try and pay it off for the last 20 years 😭0 -
Hiya Muppets.
I done a balance transfer of the capital one and barclaycard onto tesco (14 months 0% interest with no handling fee)
So I thought it would be easier to start again with the amount so for this year I just need to clear £6753.40Virgin Money £0/£1445

Hi everyone
I've had a great start to the year, with a payrise for DH and me too, plus a bonus and some ebay sales. Managed to pay 2,900 off the debt, but then I realised I have to pay an early repayment fee of $700 so I'm going to include that as it needs to be paid. I just sent $12 this morning so I could round the figures too, so I'm at:
