Sent £2 to the Barclaycard.

Paid £100 to husband's CC so I'm now at £333/£9843
Minimum payments going to my 2 credit cards later in the month. I think I need to re-arrange those DDs to be at the beginning of the month, so I can see what I've got to play with.
Made a boo-boo and forgot we had a (small) self-assessment tax bill right at the end of last month so we have no savings now. Things are going slowly, but they're going!1 -

Paid $250 to the cc - so currently stands at

Not sure what I do when the interest goes onto the card when I record the amount paid off. Do I just change the amount to show what is showing as credit available again?1 -
