As one of my credit cards is now cleared, I've bumped up the DD on the other one, and this month they overlapped, sending me storming ahead :T

June's payments all made.
#195 Paid 349.39
So now at 830.19 / 22750.39
Only starting out and a long way to go, but writing it down and seeing the percentage paid is a real incentive to pay as much as possible to clear it as soon as possible. Keep going everyone! x0 -

I have received a tax rebate as I had two jobs and paid too much tax.
Sent £500 to my debt. Have cleared one card and I now just have one more left. This nice little surprise have definitely moving my debt free date forward but 2 months.
Also I have increased my hours in my new job to full time instead of part time so will see some extra pennies which I can throw at this last card as be debt free after 10 years!
Keep going everyone.
