    Bother... I've got my timings wrong... I have a 1 hour call starting in 8 minutes, and a cake that needs to be checked in 28 minutes with a view to coming out about 15 minutes later :o and I have a wired headset... I suppose I'll have to make the call on my blackberry and hope my boss isn't looking too closely at my bills!

    triker think how lovely it will feel to be free of debt, read some DFW stories to remind you.

    I'm on to it honest.:D

    Paid off 1 credit card and closed it.

    Balanced transferred another.

    Got 0.0% balance transfers and money transfers until march 2011.

    Transferred some of that above to bank in order to buy a car for work.

    Hubby sold one car, bought another on finance he got a good deal.

    I have 50 items on ebay, some quite high value, 75% have bids.:D

    Will sell my people carrier (which is no good for work) when I get my smaller, more economical car. So more money in the pot.

    Got numerous DD's to cancel after having a good look at my account and what I actually need to spend out on. Seem to have too many insurances going on.:o

    Already paid off an amount on my 0.0% credit card and will not be spending any thing else on it.

    If I'm lucky and wise, I probably won't spend all the money transferred in my account on a car so can bung that straight back onto the debt busting.

    Car I intend to get is cheaper insurance bracket and car tax so will save there too.

    See I have a plan and am implementing it.;)
