  • Thank you!

    Im not positive about card 4 - I cant see where it tells me in my statement anywhere. It’s been bits and pieces transferred from other cards for 0% deal so each part of the balance will be different dates, I’m just not sure when the first one is or how much it will be x
  • Clearing the balance on card 1 they!!!8217;ve offered me 0% for 15 months so I can move card 2 and some of 3 to there and most of my balance will now be 0%!! Yay!! Will update figures once all done - there!!!8217;ll be transfer fees etc to add on x
  • Did have a disaster with nursery furniture I!!!8217;d ordered and ended up having to pay more for another set so I had to dip in to my maternity savings and I!!!8217;m pretty poor now until payday at the end of the month. Hopefully have a better month next month!!

    If the overdraft is costing you £4 a day then that's expensive and I would consider paying off a good chunk or all of it with the 0% card if it's also a money transfer card.
  • My new figures are below those - I manage to pay off the overdraft.

    Well done, you have done great with your repayments. One less thing on your mind when baby arrives
  • Nice one overmyhead!!! That means more money for baby... :)

    Well done on the overdraft - I would now pay min payment on eaxch of the 0% balances and pay every spare penny to card 3.

    When that's cleared put everything spare into clearing the card with the shortest 0% deal then on to the next.

    Have you put in a claim for Child Benefit and have you looked at http://www.entitledto.co.uk to see if there's anything else you may be able to claim whist on maternity leave?
