Re-strategy update for me. The £100 I had to one side from my change pot has not been needed this month, so I've took it off. So target update:
#175 £2100 / £2300
As the debt on cc2 is coming to an end, I've decided I'll try to carry on as I am, but apply the method to cc3 and try to stop spending on it. My emergency card will be cc1 which has % so should keep me on my toes! :eek: that's the plan anyway. see what happens.
