    Yay! Just added a sig.

    Also the payments I made back in December will be giving me a boost next week when I get my statement for CC1 (which I'm snowballing at the moment).

    It'll be close to the end of the month though til I get statement figures for all SEVEN of my cards.

    Again - I can't wait - Go Team!
    CC1: [STRIKE]£4990.46[/STRIKE] £3048.57 / CC2: [STRIKE]£5616.99[/STRIKE] £5583.10 / CC3: [STRIKE]£4815.75[/STRIKE] £4738.86 / CC4: [STRIKE]£3844.66[/STRIKE] £3723.32 / CC5: [STRIKE]£2669.82[/STRIKE] £2655.09 / CC6: [STRIKE]£1897.17[/STRIKE] £1861.01 / CC7: £1227.52

    I'll be adding my amounts paid off from 1st Feb, I sort of under estimated my total by about £600, which is roughly wht I've paid off it this month, so I'm still at £0 paid off so far (not for long though- roll on pay day)
