    Sorry folks, life's just mad at the moment. I don't seem to have enough time to do anything much. Work is taking over :eek: so much to do, and yet, a few months ago we were up for redundancy..... Doesn't make sense at all :confused:

    I paid off the remainder of the card!!! There'll probably be a small amount of interest to pay next month - But, the card is cleared....on to the next one - Nat West here we come.....

    Well done Piq! What an achievement :beer:
    Will you be sending the cut up card bits to them with a nice letter? Or just forgetting them and having a small celebration - MSE of course!

    Paaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrttttttttttttyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to celebrate.

    I salute you! A true MSE debt busting ranger, so you are.

    Ah, that must feel amazing.

    This month my Cahoot loan is paid off. So that leaves me with Northern Rock loan and twenty billion nine hundred and ninety nine credit cards to get paid off, which considering I aint got a job aint looking to flipping likely.

    Pray for me!

    I've treated myself to a pair of Fitflops! They are supposed to tone your legs, bum and tum whilst you walk - right.....'spect I've been got by the advertising:rolleyes:

    I think we should have a virtual party, Italian sparkling wine for me please :beer:

    I've still a long way to go, the Natwest card stands at £3802.00 @ 18.9%. A little better than the 34.9% I've just paid off! Haven't worked out a date for clearing it yet. Just pleased to have got the A&L (MBNA) one out of the way.

    I think I'll keep it for a while. I won't be tempted to use it, I don't think I'll ever just use a credit card again. You never know, they may and try and tempt me back with a year's 0%.....
