    Balance updates:

    Debt 1 = £0
    Credit Card 1 = £300 (£150 repayment 0% interest)
    Credit Card 2 = £525 (£80 repayment 29.9% interest)
    Credit Card 3 = £3533 (£250 repayment 29.9% interest)
    Credit Card 4 = £4570 (£100 repayment 0% interest)
    Credit Card 5 = £7874 (£150 repayment 0% interest)
    HP = £4187 (£251 repayment)
    Furniture Loan = £672 (£16 repayment)

    Nice to see all of the balances heading in the right direction. It really won't be long before Credit Cards 1 and 2 are paid off and then we can push hard to get Credit Card 3 paid off which is gathering interest.

    Ooh, just one more payment to that Credit Card 1 so you can then say 0 to that one too then tackle that awful Credit Card 2.   You are doing really well.

    @RelievedSheff you’re smashing it. Well done! 

    Unless 0% on card 1 runs out very quickly, worth considering just paying minimum and clearing extra off the interest baring ones?

    The 0% on card 1 runs out in December when the last payment is due.

    A no spends day today.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from the fridge and stores. Breakfast was crumpets, the other half has taken his packed lunch to work, I think I will have a jacket potato and cheese for my lunch and then tonight we have some very nice rib eye steaks for dinner which I will serve with some cajun sweet potato wedges, beer battered onion rings, garlic mushrooms, homemade coleslaw and grilled tomato.

    Today's jobs include:
    • working from home
    • a load of washing which will hopefully dry in the washer dryer today!
    • water the house plants
    • clean the kitchen
    • walk the dog x 2
