    £10584 left to go !

    I splurged on some flights £200....I know a holiday when paying off debt is a stupid idea.
    Have justified it by telling myself we have free accommodation, and it's the first andlast time our toddler will fly free before he turns 2

    I don't believe I have a number yet as muppets's last post was on 2 Feb 19.

    February statement has come out for my Santander card - this is my only interest-bearing one and I am still having to spend on it for work expenses and such. But the statement balance is £17.42 less than it was when I did my sums at the start of the month. Add on the minimum payment to the first of two 0% cards and we are at

    Paid £43.42 = £383.24/£5800

    Have made the payment on the second of two 0% cards:
    Paid £35 = £418.24/£5800
  • Paid £265 to CC today!

    #75 £1102.42 / £10000 (11%) :)
  • £2 for #097 =£836.49/£3669.48
