    Okay got you down, your number is 130 :), when it comes to updating it is up to you :D, some people like to post every time (so they see it creeping down) others monthly so they see a big hit :rotfl:, either is good so decide what works for you

    Thank PGBDF - I think December is a bad month for everyone for debt payments!

    By the way I think you need to update your Signature :p

    Indeed it does need updating.
    I will get around to it one day. I do keep good records on my PC though so I have all the info.
