    In a perverse sort of way, I am proud of the way I have been paying it off with such a high APR and how much interest I have deprived them of!

    I need to get back on the straight and narrow though, I've been lackadaisical on the spending front. Basically, I've been frittering on things and pretending I haven't. An example.....

    ...I must buy my friend a small birthday present, some nice bath bombs from Lush and I must have some too.....Somewhat more than twice the amount planned has been spent! And that's only one example :eek:

    So to finish off that card, I must tighten the belt again and forget presents for me for the time being:o

    Sub £1K!!!!!! £883.88 to be precise - I'm getting ready to wave goodbye to MBNA

    Did spend a bit at the weekend, bought the Captain his UV protection mask at £32.50, but his beautiful pink velvet nose was burnt by the sun and was very sore. He now looks a little bit like Batman.....

    It's not great really, I was told I risked permanent damage if anything else happened to it. Still, what will be will be.....

    The Captain is adjusting well to one armed riding!
