Lightbulb moment!

Posts: 53 Forumite
Hi
This is my forst post, what a great forum...I had my lightbulb moment in October 2005 and will now be focusing all my efforts on reducing my debt.
Thanks for the advice, I'll be posting again soon once I've trawled through all my paperwork!
P.S Just shaved £10 per month off our home & contents insurance by switching to Direct line from March - £120 per year, not bad for starters!
