    Broken hearted - I too will find things tight for the next couple of months. I,m glad I have cleared the egg and the virgin card. My last credit card is at 0% until feb 2010 so at least if I only make min payments for a couple of months no more debt will be added. as soon as school holidays are over will be focusing all my efforts on that card.
    Mortgage free 25/9/2019 8years and 7 months early 😁😁😁
