:beer::beer:, yay! another one cleared - go you! I'm guessing the MBNA is the next debt to go?

well done skint-spice feels great doesn't it. Forgot to say the payment to virgin was for £25.

It does feel good utopiah and the MBNA is the only remaining debt (except mortgage) Dragon! makes life so much simpler!

utopiah

thanks dragon
I did only have a balance of £300 on my card on 1.1.09 but have managed to exceed my monthly payments of £200 due to joining some of the challenges on here. I've joined NSD which has really helped me stay focused and have also managed to stick to a grocery budget realised I was spending way too much on grocerys. Meal planning has been great step forward for me and also using up left overs. I think I might be able to increase my CC payments but going to aim for £200 still and if I can pay more then great. Everyone is just so supportive on here thanks everyone
