    £250 or so paid off the card with the lowest balance this morning.

    Just checking - are all these CCs on a similar or 0% interest rate too?

    I'm now left with the thankless task of attempting to pay off the proportion of our debts that aren't covered by savings by the day of Brexit (29/05/19). It works out at about £300/week, so a pretty bruising pace of repayment. Why Brexit? Well, I hope it will arrive with a whimper, but I'm afraid of the potential bang :eek:

    I would point out (probably in a not-welcome fashion...) that if it's going to go bang, it'll go bang long before the actual day.

    Thanks for those words of encouragement :D

    Perhaps it's not so much a big bang as a sustained period of the UK being up !!!! creek without a paddle. In any case, I want to carry as little debt as possible.

    • £0.11 paid off CC (cashback)
    • £0.35 OPed (TT)
    • Picked up some good whoopsies - 1.5kg pork joint, 12 rolls and a red Leicester ploughman's sandwich for £2.40 :)

    I get the feeling it's going to be one of those days :coffee:

    found your thread this morning. Great to see you back :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    First time I've been in this neck of the woods for a couple of years - it's great to still see some of the diaries I used to follow back in the day! Sounds like you've got it all under control Ed. :)

    Nice to see you - but under control? You must be thinking of someone else! :rotfl:
