It's the bottle, not the contents! He can get a bottle between his teeth and throw the contents down his neck before I can dismount!
The cheque feels good, all I need is for it to clear and it's off the card - hurrah!!Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

I haven't been around as much as I'd like, work is manic and I'm working on the project from Hell, luckily idiot boss is not involved.
Just wanted to say I paid the excess minimum payments total of £115 to the card. Hopefully the cheque I paid in the other day will clear tomorrow and I can pay the wretched thing off this month!Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30
