    £5 off for me today, and a loan payment came out yesterday, which means I have amended my signature by £262.31 :D

    Two more loans to come out tomorrow :D

    Oh no, so sorry to hear that. Was it on the cards or out of the blue?


    Didn't think I would be one of those affected. Feeling quite sorry for myself, just back after surgery on my face and that hurts like hell too! _pale_

  • Another £382 paid today - mainly CC's. It going to be a tight month so can't see me making any overpayments but it's a nive feeling just being able to afford the minimums, cos this time last year I was struggling to even do that!

    Very good point - I agree myself. It does begin to give us a taste of how life will be without debt, not having to worry about all these scary payments.

    I don't know about you, but I can't really remember what it's like without all these payments leaving my account every month!
