    :beer::beer::beer: some great payments there (and a debt cleared yay!!!!), the only thing that has happened with mine is that my interest has gone on :o, so my percentage paid has decreased .... ah well! The overall percentage now stands at 3.35% creeping up slowly but surely!
    Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup :D

    next month or so will be tight, so will only be paying the minimum payments in Feb and probably March - but debt is all on 0% so it is ok at the mo.

    Debts @ 20-04-14 = £10,987
