    Hey happy!

    That's lovely of your brother to help, will really give you the boost you need. I'm on board with 2011 super debt busting!

    It's amazing the difference it makes when you reach various milestones isn't it?!

    Hope all is well xx
  • What a fab brother you have.
    My first card for attack is also Virgin and they are just the biggest pain in the bum aren't they?
    We have reduced interest on most of our cards, some have taken a few calls and given in and allowed us a reduction but others did it straight away. Virgin wouldn't budge, told us a load of rubbish. DH called up a few weeks ago and they agreed to reduce the interedt rate as they could see they had increased the interest rate in the past despite my having opted out of the raise but when the statement arrived nothing had changed. We rang back up and they then decided that i hadn't opted out and they wouldn't reduce the rate - grrr!!! We are going to keep calling in the hope we get somewhere one day.

    Happy Boxing Day - we celebrated New Years Day on Christmas Eve as we hate the real one where you have to be "jolly" blah blah blah, so Happy New Year and Happy Christmas too.

    I am now a "barista" and can make excellent latte's! Got a brilliant machine and all the accessories for Christmas - what did you get?
