Great payments everyone and def agree that Feb seems to have dragged.0

Couple more payments made today, £213 in total, and one more left once I get the statement in a couple of weeks.
Decided that this comming month I will have a skint month and try and pay as much as I can especially as I am working away for most of the month living off company expenses. So expect a few little one off payments through the month.

Yes, why is it that the shortest month seems like one of the longest!!!
I for one will be glad to see March arrive - March brings with it so much positivity - the start of spring, the arrival of British Summer Time as the clocks go forward, lighter evenings, and (with any luck) a bit less greyness in the weather.
Keep going guys - you are all doing really well. I've not been posting much here as I have other crap going on in life which is deferring my debt free plan, but I am still keeping up to date with your progress :TSuccessful women can still have their feet on the ground.
