    Pepper - It always seems to be two steps forward and one back, but at least you're making the min payments.No late fees or negative effect on your credit rating so it's still good news! I'm hope Feb is a better month for you.

    Well done goinggoinggone.
    SarahNeedle - You're doing great on your PAD's but sorry to hear about the council tax.
    Mizmir - one card gone - that's fab... how does it feel?

    Yes it does get easier AND you have taken the first big step by having your LBM that you need to do something - so go you!

    Oh and welcome aboard :rotfl:, if you want to let Mizmir know how much you hope to clear this year then she will add you and your amount to the list.

    hi everyone

    I'm so excited about payday next week cos I'll be paying off another £300 - yippee!!

    I started doing some waitressing work last year at a golf club and its currently being refurbished. I found out yesterday that the refurbishment will be done in the next couple of weeks and there will be regular shifts available every week and i can take as many as i can fit around my full time job! It feels great knowing that I will have a way to earn some extra cash and get debt free as quickly as possible!

    Hope everyone is enjoying the journey towards being debt free in 2009!
