    I pay as much as I can off my credit cards each month (my loan repayments are fixed) without now putting myself into an overdraft sitatuon.

    Both credit cards are on 0% until September this year - the Barclaycard will be 15.9% after that and the Amazon one is 12.8% so I am trying to throw more at the Barclaycard each month to get that cleared first before the 0% rate ends (it's ambitious but I am gonna try!).

    Anything left over on the Amazon one will be transferred to a 6 month low interest rate card with my bank as it WILL be cleared within 6 months.

    I can't spend on them as they were cut to ribbons the other night :D (they were balance transfers anyway, not racked up by spending).
    Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.

    Well, you never know, but it would be just my luck!! The question is, who would I leave my new found wealth too, as before it was just a case of who should I leave my debts too :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: !!

    I would obviously be well gutted if it did happen :D !!
