Fantastic going James! You are doing so well - brilliant

Thanks Sea78 im quite proud of myself that im able to pay off nearly a £1000 this month

Its only the second time ive been able to pay off such a vast amount

Im so glad i started to do this over a year and a half ago cos otherwise i would have been £15,000 debt still or even worse it may have been closer to £20,000


but im sooooo glad i have done this and ive got everyone on MSE to thank for keeping me going

I might be a bit dense here, but are you saying that you are gambling with money you could use to pay down your debt ?

Blimey that is gonna take some reading. So if it's not gambling I guess you can't lose in which case it's free money right ?

Bloody hell!

I wish I understood it more.

LOL @ the defence of Matched Betting though.

I can see your point about wanting to keep the money around to fund further matched betting, and I can see where other people are coming from regarding the debt. At the end of the day, neither is really costing you, if your debt is on 0%, so I say do whatever you think is best.... or split it 50/50?

P.S I'm sure I've asked you this before, but how far dan saf are you?!

Hiya James,

Been away for a wedding at the weekend so just catching up now.

BL**DY WELL DONE:beer:

I'm glad you're looking after your Mum and you've still paid nearly a grand off your debts.:T

So if this is all free money, risk free, then I could do this and never have to work again ?
