    Might sit down tonight and add up what I have left to pay as I think my total might be quite exciting now.

  • Just paid another £42 off my credit card. The balance is an eye watering £4,700 so want to get rid of that this year. Am sick of paying it off.

    wow wee doodledoo - well done you.

    As it was a short month I have brought my payments forward
    £200
    £459 - cleared a credit card in full
    £40
    £25

    Not quite as much as I normally pay but that's due to job hunting expenses and not knowing if I will have a job to go to in April !!!!
