  • Hello, an update from me:


    #198 - £6,297.38/£27,460.88


    Made up of payments, over payments and a card shuffle which saved a decent amount of interest.


    Thanks

    The penultimate payment of £306.07 to my loan went out today. This time next month I'll only have my cc left and that's 0% until next May so I'm feeling good!

    Been visiting my fianc!s family for 1 month so most of my extra cash went towards that holiday. Along with the DD I made a token payment of £100 which was all we managed to save from our trip.

    Will pay off my second to last card in a few days when I get paid to leave me on the final card! Exciting times.

    DD gone out- another step forward. Now at:

    #175 £1700 / £2300

    Thoughts- TBH my cc3 is a little battered at the moment, but the light at the end of the tunnel is shining brightly for cc2. Hopefully, if I can apply the same tactics as I have to that one, I may have it at a level to try and pay it off by the end of next year- unless my circumstances change of course! :eek:

    keep up the hard work everyone! :beer:

    #100 So total payments for this month is £1130.21 but unfortunately due to both cars needing work now and the dogs op, debts have gone up, so total amount as it stands now after payments this month is £33249.83, £3 less than last month lol but on a plus note I managed to get the extra debt all on interest free for 12 months so little less pressure!
