    Just updated my siggy with payments so far.

    Have a load more to dump onto my Virgin Card but as it is at 0% there is no hurry.

    I can definately make payments of £375 to it and then need another £155 to stay on track. I have a lot of social stuff this month but if I am good then making that up shouldn't be a problem, and I may have some spare change to put on one of my loans (my new mantra: be good, be good, be good)

    Mind you I will get Leccy and Water bills in the next couple of weeks :eek: so that is about £160 to find (I have been watching my meters like a good MSEer and predicted what the bill should be)
    £34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)
    Sealed Pot #389 (2010=£133)
