HI all! Merry Christmas esp to pickle ,saving hlomes, mum to one, mrsR, in mydreams missy and all who read my thread! (sorry if i forgot anyone!);)
I have began to notice that my cc payments are coming down freeing up money for overpayments so thats good. I can see the process now of being able to over pay one at a time!!:D
One of them has reduced from £150 per month to £115big difference! And when you have nine cards to pay differences like this are life saving!:rolleyes:
Feeling very posotive about 2010 i feel i have changed dramatically and i am looking forward to carrying on the mse way!:money:
