hey BB, I'm glad to see you're moving in the right direction with the debt. But, I think you need to change your thinking from 'only paying off £100 this month' to 'bloody hell, not only am I not adding to the debt this month but I am overpaying too'.
As for your options (sorry had to read back a page or 2 because I've been away) but there is no point in paying money off your card that you then need to withdraw from savings to cover the month. You might as well just pay the debt from savings, I know you don't want to do that. So, the first priority is covering your months expenses then use what's left to pay off the card, even if it's only £1, it's going in the right direction.:A

ooh and go you on the facial. I had one booked today but had to cancel because Jas was sent home from school and then went to A&E again because she keeps passing out. She's looking pretty sick again this evening

Hubby then went on to say, you do realise we could have this pig flu don't you. Um, why? Well, when we were in Canada last week, MILs cousins came to stay, they had just flown in from mexico having spent 5 months there :eek: so if I start oinking please point me in the direction of the nearest sty.:A
