  • I would love to join in - only a little debt but first time I've had any credit card balance since retiring and feel if I don't get a grip it's a slippery slope.

  • £587.45 paid off today and the Klarna account closed.

    Im going to be a bit skint this month. I was supposed to pay this off over the next couple months but when it remains open I add to it and it never gets paid and the balance always increases, I just had to get rid.

    £34.23 min payment on the Barclaycard and £24.76 on the Capitol one card 🫡

    I'll try and double check things later and update and get the ball rolling for January but I'll get a tracker sorted for next year!
