No number yet!
Payday today so chucked £400 at the cards straight away, it's going to be a difficult month as I need to buy flights to visit my partners family and other expenses that go with a trip away. Obviously, anything left at the end of the month will join its friends on my cards but right now I need to hang on in case there are any unexpected costs.
£600/£7750 which puts me at 7.7%. I'm way under where I need to be but hopefully can make up for that in the following months.LBM April 2018: -£14500

quick update. no number still but again wanna track progress / encourage others.
had "no charge" for a vet appt on Sunday (well- i'd already paid for it in a plan up front, I didn't realise!) so used that unexpected win to pay another £50 off cc2.
£350/£2300
That'll most likely be it for this month. :beer:Pay Off Debts by Xmas 2026; £0 / £6201.560 -

I've just read back through the thread - you guys are so inspiring! :T
February update: Had to put some holiday stuff on a credit card (car rental and a little spending). But I'm thrilled to say that I've paid off IN FULL on top of my other credit card payments.
£461.21 has cleared CC1. Three more CCs left - a 0% interest offer was coming to an end, so I managed to take advantage of new 0% deals on my existing cards (but had to split the balance over three). No worries, repayment amounts will be a little higher which is good in the long run.

Another DD went out today so that's another £75.41 cleared
All DDs and extra payments paid this month. If I have anything left the day before payday I'll add an additional extra payment.

Oops just realised this payment shouldn't have come off of my total as it was towards debt 3.
