    Car sold for £4252

    Def paying off Barclaycard as soon as money comes in. Then cancelling that card!

    Then prob spliting the rest between other credit card / tax credits / car tax.

    The £4850 bit was not a real offer!! why do people do that??

    We've just had a new look at the finances, things looking a little better than we thought.

    Hopefully in the next 6 months we should be down to just the two large loans!

    We can then start to save up in our ISA for the smaller of the 2 larger loans. The loans are due to be finished in 2013 but I hope to have them done by 2011!!
