    Thanks for doing all the updates Skaps. Don't forget I'm here to lend a hand if you need it.

    Hi all, won't bother updating mines this month as although have made my payments, I also had my car insurance/new exhaust so it's hovering around the same - not worth updating. Be better next month.

    ETA - I lied, just checked amount from the last time and I am down, yeah.

    Challenger #37, paid off £5810.46 so new total is now £2635 - the difference in my siggy is money I am owed for my Visa, it's my reminder!
