    Well i have a direct debit payment for the minimum payment to go out at the end of the month (as it always does!), so will just top that up with the remaining (I always have £90 aside for it so i know i will be able to cover it).

    So technically I will be Interest paying debt free by the end of the month. :D

    I have been flagging a bit on Dooyoo recently, but i want to try and write 2 reviews a day. See how I go. So just for those I could earn £30.00 a month (thats without getting rated etc.). I know I have around £300 due from Quidco (from November - January) so that will deffo help.

    Yeah fingers crossed I can at least cut off a month so it would be debt free beginning of June 2009. How cool would that be? :D
