The other positive note will be that the only interest being paid out now will be to you (however piddling it may seem). I had money in savings that I could have paid off my debts with for years but I didn't and I let the debt grow as that safety net was there but then it kept getting eaten into and suddenly (ok not that suddenly) it was gone and the debts were way up. What I'm trying to say is that while it was there as a safety net I was a lot less careful so onwards and upwards old bean!

Thought I'd do one that would hurt a bit more.

I pushed a bit of fluff around the mouse pad as I pressed 'pay' and didn't watch the screen

Chewed the corner of the card a bit as I pressed 'pay'.

Don't think I can handle doing the others tonight.....:(

Just think though, some greedy company isnt getting your money through interest now.

if you really can't handle it fair enough but the sooner the better!

Just wanted to remind you that you were person that inspired me and many other DFWers to start with - if anyone can do it you can!

I am going to do the remaining 3 when the rest of the money arrives. 1 is only £116 but I think there is £28 to go on it so I am going to have another run at it when the rest of the money is there. It's very hard, lots of 'what if' stuff in my head.

Better debt-free than cash in bank AND debts...the interest on the one is never enough to cover the other

The £28 I spent a day or so had been added, I think that is it, so I paid it.......2 left plus my overdraft......
