Hi all
I did this many moons ago and it just helped massively to see the figures going down, I've got back into trouble again so I need to make a concerted effort this year so here goes:
MBNA credit card 0% for 12 months- £7,941.87
Tesco loan 7.5% - £13,193.56 (40 months left)
Total: £21,135.43
I have already paid off circa £4k this year on credit cards so this is what's left.
I would like to be in the £18's by June.

The plan is to clear the credit card first.
I am currently paying £60 a week to cc so I will continue that but I am going to start paying something every day even if it's £1!
I can pay bigger amounts off to cc when I get various income streams during the month so I'll do that then.
I am aiming for £1k per month pay off.0
