  • I paid a small additional £17.50 over on Friday, bringing my total to #24 £383.46 it's not a huge amount but to have anything at all left at the end of the month especially a 6 week between pay days month is a minor miracle for this household :o

    #097. Another payment of £2.28 taking my total so far to £539.49...every little helps. Got some overtime in this month so that should help pay off a bit more, plus I only have 2 more student loan payments and I am DONE so I can then use that money towards my debt 😁 So determined to do this this year!

    Well done everyone else on your payments, too!
  • I've had a busy couple of weeks, managed to get a balance transfer for one card to a 0% interest offer, and managed to mostly clear another, paid off £1,177.26 in total taking my outstanding balance down to £4,317.17!

    So, total paid: #161: £1,177.26 / £5,494.43!

    Have another payment due later this week, but I have birthdays coming up soon as well so not expecting to be able to pay off as much as I'd like for a couple of months.
