Happy New Year everyone the Olympics will soon be here (although I am sorry to admit I have no interest in the olympics whatsoever
but I do want to get rid of this debt)
So the figures for No 127 £23985.29 paid 74.95% Just the normal minimum payment of £80.95 this month but to survive Christmas and my eldest twins 21st birthdays without increasing CC debt is a massive achievement as far as I am concerned
So close to that 75% mark

Hello,
No 158 reporting (I thinkl that's my number - it's in my sig!)
A total of 919 paid off. Christmas sucks!! Think that's 10% though - and 10% more than I'd have paid off if I wasn't here!
Hopefully a bigger chunk in the next few months!Olympic Countdown No 158
