Lots of little PAD's today, totalling £142.50 - like the beginning of the month when I have the funds available for that.
So my new total is... £2669.23

Feeling very motivated!
* cleared the Very account on the 1st [£309.99]
* made a payment towards my daughter's school trip total [£129]
* made a small payment to Barclaycard to make it a round total [£38.15] (still has its direct debit of £150 to come out later this month)
* made a small payment to the Sainsbury's credit card to make it a round total [£37.49] (still has its direct debit of £150 to come out later this month)
Because the 2 credit cards are now round totals, I worked out how much I would need to pay a month on each to have them cleared by Christmas... I discovered that the way we're going at the moment, we can actually just about do it, so I changed the direct debits.
A slightly risky move but now I HAVE to do it. Obviously I can amend them if I've pushed too hard, but I'm determined. It's a ridiculous amount of money a month to put towards credit card debt, and that is what is motivating me.
I could be putting an extra £500/600 a MONTH into savings / onto the mortgage!! Frustrating that we let it get to this, but I'm so grateful to this challenge because otherwise I would have let them sit until their interest free period ended and then transfered them on as we always do.No Spend Days 2020 Jul 24 / 28 Jun 20/25 May 22/25 Apr 20/25 Mar 16/25 Feb 20/20 Jan 20/15
